Afghanistan
Parliament Sets Up Commission to Ease Speaker Election
2011-02-15
[Tolo News] A commission has been formed to help Afghan politicians choose a house speaker, temporary Head of the Afghan House of Representatives said Monday.
There's always the J.P. Morgan method: lock the deciders in a room with plenty of liquor and cigars, but no food or toilets, and don't let them out until they've come up with a workable solution...
The commission is bound to make an initiative describing viable ways of having a house speaker elected. By next week, after the commission completes the initiative, it will go on votes in the house.

Mohammad Sarwar Osmani, temporary head of the house sees the move positive.

The commission is made up of 50 politicians from all across the country.

"Final decision would be made by majority of parliamentarians and all the politicians would have the right to comment on the initiative," Ahmad Behzad, an Afghan MP, said.

The commission started its work Monday afternoon and it will present the initiative to the house in a week.

#2  with some round of bullets in each?

That strikes me as a bit extreme, dear Rhodesiafever. I had more in mind something along the line of, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." We wouldn't want attendance to fall below the quorum needed for a vote to be binding, you understand.
