The Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Oifigear-Riaghlaidh), ) is the speaker of the Scottish Parliament. The current Presiding Officer is Tricia Marwick, who was elected on 11 May 2011, following the 2011 Scottish Parliament election. The Presiding Officer is elected by the Members of the Scottish Parliament, by means of an exhaustive ballot, and also heads the Corporate Body of the Scottish Parliament. He or she is considered a figurehead of the institution. The Presiding Officer presides over the Parliament's debates, determining which members may speak. The Presiding Officer is also responsible for maintaining order during debate. In keeping with the tradition of the Speaker of the British House of Commons, but unlike presiding officers of legislatures in many other countries, the Presiding Officer is expected to be strictly non-partisan. For this reason, they renounce all affiliation with their former political party when taking office. They also do not take part in debate, nor do they vote except to break ties. Even then, the convention is that the speaker casts the tie-breaking vote in favour of the status quo. The Presiding Officer also remains a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP). The office of the Presiding Officer is located in Queensberry House. ==List of Presiding Officers== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
