the presiding officer presides over the parliament's debates, determining which members may speak, and maintains order during debate. the presiding officer is expected to be strictly non-partisan, with some similarities in this respect to the tradition of the speaker of the british house of commons. for this reason, they renounce all affiliation with their former political party for the duration of their term. they do not take part in debate, or vote except to break ties. even then, the convention is that when the presiding officer uses their tie-breaking vote, they do so in favour of the status quo. the presiding officer is also assisted in their duties by 2 deputies. they have the same powers as the presiding officer but they keep their party affiliation but remain impartial when presiding.
