Information on what will apply from now on to votes after the MPs reduced from 300 to 297
“The number of 151 MPs in votes remains normally and without any change, where the increased majority needs and no opinion of the Scientific Council will be needed only if in the decision of the Court -according to which Decreate from their parliamentary office the three “Spartans”– It is written in that in the 297 MPs, the absolute majority is in 149 Members. “
This was clarified by the Speaker of the House, Nikitas Kaklamanisinforming parliamentary authors of what will be true of votes from now on, after the reduction of MPs from 300 to 297, stressing that from a circle of contacts he has already made, all parties agree.
“There will be no issue, neither for the Scientific Council nor for anything. I think we need to make the decision of the Court in our hands and see exactly what he writes in the operative part.
We, on the part of the House, citing – and I think it has been accepted – Article 74 (2) of the Constitution, but most of the constitutionalists also cite the phrase “all the number of Members”, “Mr Kaklamanis said and added:
“From a circle of contacts that I have made with all parties, it is all in favor of 151. So, since we are also in favor of 151 as a House and I feel that the government will be in favor of 151, there is no reason to ask any question to any scientific council.”
As Mr Kaklamanis said, “When the time of revision or the Constitution comes in seats or we must take the corresponding paragraph from Article 74”.
“There can be no contradiction between the House of Representatives and the Constitution. The whole article is from the presidency of Yiannis Alevras. He never needed to be used and no one remembered it, so in no revision they did not find it appropriate, where he says in the regulation, to put Members, because the Constitution prevails, “Mr Kaklamanis noted.
“In votes that require a percentage majority of 2/5 or 3/5, such as in pre -trial committees, are they adapted to the actual number of 297 MPs? The Speaker of the House was asked to answer that “there the Constitution Committee will make the decision”.
In another question, whether it will change the regulation to clarify certain provisions of the confusion of confusion after the latest events, Mr Kaklamanis stated that “in any case point changes in the regulation will be made, but they are independent of the revision of the Constitution and must change.”
