If elected which party would you caucus with? This could be of particular importance if both Labor and the Federalist party gets 4 seats each.
As the speakership is no longer a partisan office, I don't think this would have any great impact on how the House operates — so long as Thumb is able to remind himself to vote. Tongue Even when the speaker was still chosen by the caucus system, I don't think Siren or EarlAW ever officially joined a party caucus (though both were, of course, generally left-of-center in terms of voting records).

The caucus system didn't arise until after the Earl and Siren had left. I beleive it started in March or May. Basically whenever the bylaws were passed in both parties.

The Caucus/Conference system is still in place, and I still message the Whips or acting whips or whatever you want to call them. Don't tell me Labor's Whip hasn't been contacting you. Tongue
Oh, JGibson has been doing an excellent job on that front — no worries there. Smiley
