And how would any other form be relevant in this context and conversation bots Come on then...if I'm being 'ridiculous', explain where this perceived bias lies then if not political that should exclude him from holding his position?

Precedent...... so not law, or constitution just what previous governments have got away with? He has no duty to maintain that if it goes against yhe best interest of the house for which he is speaker...he isn't a government mouthpiece.

Me thinks, Kizzy that some people would like to ignore the independence of legislature as well as the judiciary from the executive. The cornerstone of our democracy and the only thing that differentiates us from a dictatorship

A huge loss to Parliament.

It's sad that a bunch of manchild brexiters probably forced his hand just because they were throwing tantrums over misunderstanding what impartial means.

'Wah! You're biased unless you agree with everything we do and believe in!'

Yes it very much seems that way. And now the vote has been cast in favour of releasing the impact assessments in yellowhammer the govt are crying thats ' disproportionate and unprecedented'...what like proroguing parliament?!
These lot are an absolute joke.

Well that appears to be it, as Bercow was from the tory benches when appointed I think they thought they had a stooge. Fortunately he has taken his role as speaker seriously and resisted being a government yes man. He should be and is being commended by all but those who oppose his obligation to the house as a whole.

Yes he need time off to get a haircut

Please don't delete my posts, when I don't break the forum rules. Because it looks like you're singling me out politically.

Sums all up perfectly.

I couldn't agree more he is a huge parliamentary loss.

His marital life has no bearing here.
At least he knows how many children he fathered unlike bojo.

He's a public figure, he's fair game for a ribbing. I'll decide if I want to mock his marital status, just as you'll decide to mock who you want, whether that be Boris, Jacob or anyone else.

Bercow has been a strong speaker.
Who has helped ensure when possible all right and legitimate scrutiny of this deceitful last 2 Prime Ministers and government.

I’ve seen clips of Betty, she was a goddess

Be my guest.

Only commented bc you were making it sound as if it was some great political point you were making

Good riddance to the bullying sexist lying pig.

We're talking about the speaker here...not Boris :/

[MB.]

Personally I hope that we're going to gradually move our way through the more famous husbands of CBB8 housemates in order of eviction, and that the next Speaker of the House will be David Hasselhoff

[MB.]

But on a non-Hoff note, knowing what the Tories actually mean when they say they want to replace Bercow with an "impartial" speaker scares me a tad

She was really tough.

Brilliant Speaker, she'd have taken no nonsense either.
Really knew her stuff.

Formidable.

[bitontheslide]

The new speaker will be chosen by a parliament without a majority, I can't think of a better time to pick a new speaker

[Kizzy]

It traditionally goes from one side of the house to the other too so the next speaker should come if following tradition from the Labour side, Harriet Harman has offered her services did the MP for Peterborough.

Not always Kizzy.
After Labour's Betty Boothroyd, she was replaced by Labour's Michael Martin.

I'd imagine Johnson will want to try to get one of his extreme hardliners in the post.

However as bitontheslide said, it's a good time to elect a new speaker.
Now Johnson has not been given his manipulatively dangerous way of getting an election, to help him bully his choice in.

Well done to the MPs who have stood against his deranged mad in power stance and hopes.

I didn't say it would, but from the info I posted that was how it was explained. I was hoping Bercow would stay on to play out brexit in its entirety myself.

So did I want Bercow to stay Kizzy, like yourself.
However, The Cons were planning to break all tradition by standing against him in his seat.

Showing the petty vindictiveness of this PM and his extreme company of bully boys and girls behind him.

So for Bercow, I'm glad he's been able to thwart again, this madman's determination to silence any opposition to him.

How anyone can support this really worrying and dangerously so, deceitful PM, is totally beyond my comprehension.
