    ''an elected Leader would be needed.''
    why?

    on the fronting the GG to form a gov. all one would need would be a spokesman with a list of signatures who say - we'll support supply. And that's it.
    I can't see that a PM is required at all.

    I'm very happy to listen to why you think one is required.

    ''my personal choice would be to have a panel of experts heading each department.... but yeh I'm not sure how this would stand constitutionally.''

    without checking, I'm not sure - but, I think a minister is necessary - again, I'm not certain and haven't got time to check today

    ''a sortition might serve to appoint Ministers and indeed have them change annually''
    I think that one would be a large dud

    Imagine a random pick of parliamentarians as heads of departments - pffffffffffffft

    I don't mind sortition as a mechanism for picking reps etc - but, for specific roles - in departments --------- no, I can't see that working well at all.
