Government / Politics / house of commons, speaker
German term or phrase: Ausscheidungsverfahren
hi,
has to do with parliamentary procedure in the House of Commons in relation to the Speaker...am looking for the English term; German term is "Ausscheidungsverfahren" (for the Bundestagspraesident):

Demzufolge ist es - im Gegensatz zum strikten “Ausscheidungsverfahren“ des Unterhauses - beispielsweise möglich, in einem späteren Verfahrensstadium einen völlig neuen Kandidaten – gewissermaßen als “Kompromißkandidaten“ einzuführen.

thx for any and all help

exhaustive ballot system
Explanation:
According to the links below, the exhaustive ballot system is used to elect the Speaker in the British House of Commons.

Definition: "Under the Exhaustive Ballot system, voters place an 'X' next to the candidate of their choice. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the votes, he or she is elected. If no candidate does so, the candidate with fewest votes, as in AV, is eliminated. However, unlike in AV, the House would then vote again on the reduced slate of candidates, and would continue doing so until one candidate receives more than half the votes or only two candidates remain."

Perhaps *election of the speaker* would do!

agree  ENGSOL: *elimination runoff* seems to be the term for this - if that's what we're actually talking about! :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_system#List_of_systems
