Prime Minister line of succession

Another horrible editor clash is breaking the diff here. The relevant text for reviewers is:

Line of succession

Introduce legislation setting out the line of succession for the Prime Minister in the unlikely but
possible event that they are incapacitated and unable to govern, in a similar style to that of the
Presidential Line of Succession in the United States. We could, for instance, introduce a variation
on the Prime Minister (Replacement) Bill.

So, this seems sensible, and something you would have in a constitution (the core OS of the country), perhaps. My question is, do we not have this at the moment?

[anilliams]

No, we don't. Our constitution is very much a make-it-up-as-you-go-along arrangement, which would be precisely what we would do in this situation.

I was just thinking, though, if this would be better going under the constitutional convention section, as something like: "during the convention we would consider the introduction of a codified line of succession for the PM in case they are incapacitated."

I'm a 👍 on adding this, btw. Sorry, forgot to vote.

[Floppy]

Oh, sorry, I renamed the branch and it auto-closed this request. Can you resubmit it? Sorry about that.
