As I said in main, I'd like to thank everyone for their confidence in me as Devolved Speaker, and I have hopes to get the devos running strong again, with some stability and some reforms in time.

As required by the MHoC Meta Constitution, I hereby take the following oath of office:

I do solemnly swear that I shall execute my speakership with wisdom and good faith, and that I shall protect, preserve, and defend the greater good of the Reddit Model House of Commons. I hereby accept the charges of the constitution, and in so doing renounce my membership of all political parties and organisations within the Reddit Model House of Commons.

Devo Speakers

It has been great to see the high quality and high level of experience within the current devolved speakership, and I am happy with the job they have all been doing. I am pleased to say that all members of speakership have agreed to stay on, except for Willem, due to his election as Commons Speaker. As such, I am pleased to announce that PoliticoBailey has agreed to step up to the role of Llywydd (Presiding Officer) in Wales.

Therefore, I am looking for someone to become the Deputy Presiding Officer (Dirprwy Lywydd) in Wales, so please do message me if you would like to take this role up - am happy to answer any questions you have on this having served in devo speakership before.

Once we have a candidate for Senedd DPO, I will be running a vote of confidence in all 4 members of the team. In the meantime, they all have my confidence to continue in the interim.

Polls

I will be looking to stay on the monthly polling schedule for the devos, and as one is due, I will be looking to get this out once I've learnt how the calculator works, so this should be within the next fortnight once I've sat down with Frosty.

Election

The last devo election in December and the short Commons term and early election has allowed us to get back on regular schedules for elections, as such I will be looking to holding the next election in late May, and as such I should be able to announce soon dates for this, with an aim for a good notice period for election preparation for leaders and candidates.

As a final note, I'd like to say that I am always open for people to come to me with questions or issue, whether through dms on Discord or Reddit, or the Devo speaker question channel on the main server. I'm also all ears on any feedback you have. With that, let's enjoy some devo.
