Whilst I'm 👍 I don't see it as being strictly necessary given our Parliamentary system ensures the party in government will command a majority in HoC. It's more useful in systems with a separation of powers to ensure appropriate checks on the Executive - partlcularly when opposing parties control different arms. So I support this PR because I believe in the principle, but I don't think it's really needed.

Parliamentary approval of key positions at the top of the Civil Service though would be a very worthwhile idea.

"systems with a separation of powers to ensure appropriate checks on the Executive" watch this space... ;)

"Parliamentary approval of key positions at the top of the Civil Service though would be a very worthwhile idea." I'd support that!

Agree on civil service stuff too, and I'm looking forward to seeing the separation of powers stuff :)
