Guys I...noticed an Oopsie.
I uh, defined 'early vacancy' as being an early vacancy in the Senate, not for the premiership.
Thus I'm going to motion this evening that we make an emergency amendment to this bill before it passes.

Okay, here goes, I propose the text be amended to:
- Quote:
-
(8) Should there be an Early Vacancy of the Premiership, defined as being within the first twenty-three (23) days of the Premier's term, then an immediate Premier Election shall be called by the Grand Chancellor.
(9) Should there be a Late Vacancy of the Premiership, defined as being a vacancy occurring after the twenty-third (23rd) day of the Premier's term, then the Acting Premier shall, at their discretion, continue to hold the position of Acting Premier until the next due elections.
