"Does it get any more bizarre than this? The Conservative Party are to contest the seat of John Bercow. Now, Bercow was elected a Conservative MP. He gave up party affiliation in order to become the Speaker. None of the main parties contest the seat of the Speaker (unless he or she has retired). It seems the nasty party really is back.

"Funny isn’t it that those of a certain persuasion are convinced that anyone who disagrees with them is (choose) - biased, incompetent, nasty, useless, a traitor, a betrayer etc etc It seems that half the country has lost the ability to be pragmatic and logical. As an aside, the Speakers duty is to facilitate the working of Parliament - not the Government. If his judgment is that there is support in Parliament for a course of action - he will allow that course of action to proceed on account of the fact that if he was wrong - the Govt would defeat the course of action and if he was right then he has acted in accordance with his mandate. Just because he won’t allow the Govt to trample all over Parliament does not make him anything other than a very good Speaker. To require a Speaker who is in your gang and who will do what your gang wants is a very dangerous thing to wish for when one day you will be in Opposition. " Yes very dangerous but your happy to have him in your gang very very hypocritical | |||

"Interrupting his holiday in Turkey to brand the Prime Minister's decision to prorogue Parliament a 'constitutional outrage'.Mr Bercow also told an audience in Scotland that he would fight any attempt by Mr Johnson to suspend Parliament if MPs try to block Brexit 'with every bone in my body'. Whatever his personal views are he should keep them to himself. " He is the Speaker and his job is to facilitate the working of Parliament, not to support s minority Government using tactics to avoid Parliamentary scrutiny. As per my previous response. If a Govt requires a Speaker to only do its bidding then that is fair enough and Parliament could probably change to adopt that stance - if it was voted for. The problem that you have is the Conservatives are not going to be in office forever and if you change the role of the Speakers mandate today - it will be changed for tomorrow as well. Then someone from the other gang wants to do something unsavoury and the Speaker permits it because that is now his/her new role. | |||

""He is the Speaker and his job is to facilitate the working of Parliament" This is correct it is not his job to promote his own views(what ever they may be ) outside or inside the house. " You were referring to an external, third party reports which alleged that he said that he would fight Brexit with every bone in his body. He may or may not have said that -my guess is that it was an out of context quote and what was missed was references to “no deal” and to Parliamentary oversight. He is an extraordinarily talented person and he would not make such a crass remark. His comment about proroguing Parliament is correct - it is a constitutional outrage that the Govt had engineered a Govt shutdown to limit Opposition scrutiny to the Govt Brexit plans. You may or may not be aware that a constitutional outrage is not something illegal - it is an attempt to subvert constitutional precedents - so he said nothing wrong there at all. | |||

"So because his narrative doesn’t suit the Government he should be replaced? " His Narrative do not come into it that is the whole point, the speaker has to remain impartial at all times. | |||

Something that current government hate, because the speaker supports parliamentary primacy and rules in all matters. | |||

How right is it to let a wanna be tyrant, a trompo-copycat sexist dickhead who plagiarizes others' ideas and places them onto so called "history books" whilst being referred as a writer by his bodies in the media who are begging to get favour back from the clown holding now the title of PM? How come is it right for him to force a decision that was never ever voted for? | |||

"When a government has a "majority" of -46, two things are self-evident: * It is not in control of what happens in Parliament * It has to work with others to achieve anything This move smacks of petty spite. " This Government under Johnson and the previous one under May made some pretty bad decisions. I think their general ineptitude can be associated with poor decision making right from the day that May came to power. This is just another example of poor decision making. Going after the Speaker is the wrong thing to do at the wrong time and for all sorts of other reasons. | |||

Given the current situation with Brexit, on exactly what planet is shutting down parliament and denying it the right to address the looming economic cliff edge the government seems hellbent on marching us off in any way, shape or form democratic?

"It is strange how many people think that the speaker has overstepped the mark because he is not toeing the government line when in fact he is doing exactly what his job requires him to do. He is the 'Speaker of The House of Commons', his job is to speak for the house of commons, nothing more or less, and he is duty bound to do everything in his power to see that 'The Will of The House' is upheld and the idea that he should ignore The Will of The House' because the Government don't like it is the outrage. But then in this post truth age up is down, good is bad, lies are truth and opinion is fact (right up to the point the fantasy falls apart)." You could twist a laser beam,never mind | |||

"There is a god Bercow is leaving "It is so funny reading these posts from Brexiters who are singularly all excited and relieved that Bercow is going. In displaying such enthusiasm for his departure they once again confirm the caricature of Brexiters as not exactly being deep thinkers. His departure before the next election is bullet through the heart of Brexit fanatics. Perhaps you should think about what that means beforew waving your idiotic flags of joyousness. lol fucking lol. | |||

"Farage is also offering to step aside in southern seats held by the Conservatives in exchange for a free run at northern seats held by Labour. And the Lib Dems are offering to step aside in the seats of the 21 (ex) Conservative MPs. It's all very peculiar." What’s peculiar is our first past the post electoral system where people are going to be voting tactically more and more in the future rather than the party they actually support . The main argument for it is it to lead to stable governments whereas the PR systems in the rest of the EU often leads to unstable coalitions but look at the last few elections here ! Now that’s been debunked maybe it’s time for a change to PR but the same establishment forces that are actively sabotaging Brexit know PR would probably lead to over a hundred Brexit Party MPs and they certainly wouldn’t want that . | |||

"It’s not pure speculation at all though. It’s the general consensus of pretty much every independent expert analysis. Look at how difficult it’s been to negotiate things with the EU. We’re going to have to negotiate new trade deals with everyone, and that takes years. A country like the US is hardly going to give us that favourable a deal - and given they’re a much bigger country, we need them more than they need us. | |||

What are you on about??"Seems to be a fairly common thing these days for right wingers to try and defend stupid ideas like Trump and Brexit with totally out of context, mostly incoherent rants about the evils of communism. Weird, really. Almost like they have no actual arguments to make. | |||
