One is forgetting the worst aspect of the old system, the continual stream of nomination periods with no nominee, leaving a nonperforming incumbent (or empty office burdening the speaker) in place for 2+ weeks at best and considerably more at worst (happened to me as deckmastor). How about a compromise: start out by consent, but if during the consent period another candidate declares (or is nominated by someone else), consent fails and triggers an election. -Goethe
