Haven't looked at this in detail, but I agree with Barnes on creating a Chief Whip/Leader of the House position with the discretion on the floor agenda. I'd rather have the Speaker be a more impartial, procedural figure responsible for making sure Parliament doesn't get out of hand etc.

As for committees, I think they would add a layer of bureaucracy to the game that wouldn't really add to the intrigue or interest in it. We can take heed from when Atlasia introduced committees in the Senate and people literally dreaded having to deal with them because they were pretty much meaningless as it went.

I think we can solve the issue of non-government ministers not having legislation on the floor by having a limited number of private members's bills. I also like the idea of giving the government discretion on whether to allow a vote on an opposition bill at all; that would add a good bit of complexity to the simulation.
