This bill is hereby VETOED and is not given Prime Ministerial Assent

I feel that the wording of this bill is vague and subject to extreme abuse for political gain and purposes. The Speaker of Parliament isn’t a mob boss and this bill would turn it into just that. This bill gives the SoP full powers on this issues and dosnt give MP’s the opportunity to vote on these measures, for these reasons I am vetoing this bill.
