'A government bid to change the rules on electing Commons speakers - seen by Labour as an attempt to oust John Bercow - has been defeated.
Mr Bercow was almost overcome by emotion as he announced the result of the vote - 228 to 202.
He had earlier told MPs: "I'm not going anywhere."
William Hague wanted a secret ballot to decide the Speaker's future after the election but Labour and some Tory MPs said it was a "grubby" plot.
They accused the Commons leader of springing the motion on MPs in the final hours of the current Parliament, before it breaks up for the general election.
'Right thing'
In extraordinary scenes, MPs hurled abuse at Mr Hague for allegedly conspiring with Prime Minister David Cameron to oust Mr Bercow, who is unpopular with much of the Tory leadership.'
An undemocratic, spiteful, devisive and malicious act was stopped, thank goodness GET THEM OUT!!
It's funny though in the vid John Bercow looks like he wants to kick the shiz out of someone so badly
