Speaker of Lok Sabha in India

Though the position of Speaker of Lok Sabha in India is midway between the British and the US model, it is theoretically closer to the British model. But similar conventions do not exist. For instance:

♤ It is not necessary for the Speaker to resign from his party

♤ If he/she decides to resign, he/she will not be disqualified under the Anti-defection law.

♤ There is no convention in India that he/she will be elected uncontested.
