well s/o has to do it
unanimity amongst three ? well there is a thing

has a speaker been unelected ? ( failed to be voted in in a contested vote and failed to be draaaaaaged to the chair ?)

Speaker Martin very nearly managed it
but was prevailed on to take a seat in the Lords ( yes really)
and to resign ....
