Obviously Tory hacks like yourself hate him because he doesn't stick to party line, but he's a House of Commons man who values the power of debate and reason, and surely that should be the highest principle in Parliament.<br /><br />Better than Widdicombe, who wants to be as cautious as possible about any reforms... Wouldn't be a great start!Dave Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140704556766044722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-69418379996647034542009-05-22T22:57:13.674+01:002009-05-22T22:57:13.674+01:00Perhaps once you guys stop touting Frank Field as a potential speaker then perhaps the idea of Johb Bercow as speaker might at last appear as ridiculous as it actuaslly is. Once we stop playing these ridiculous games with each other then maybe the serious candidates will emerge.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787088071966415560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-84551427482691442942009-05-22T18:27:31.989+01:002009-05-22T18:27:31.989+01:00I think you want him to win.

He's virtually a Labour stooge.<br /><br />Best way to stop it is to shout the expenses story as loud as possible and shame him into withdrawing.smileymanhttps://openid.claimid.com/smileymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-15433605637774700832009-05-22T14:51:15.330+01:002009-05-22T14:51:15.330+01:00Please let there be further revelations on him by the DT. He's utterly unsuitable as Speaker.<br /><br />Does TB think the Speaker should be elected by the proles? I'm in two minds about this.Faustyhttps://faustiesblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
