Draft John Bercow

The post of speaker requires an independent mind and respect and roots on both sides of the house.

John Bercow fits the bill on many fronts.

He'd be my choice, as for this office he is ideally suited.

H/T to Tory Bear who thinks that Mr Bercow may harbour ambitions in this direction based on sucking up to the lefties here in January ....

Update: Guido thinks not based on John Bercow's expense claim rate. His wife is known as a member of the Labour party, which is why Labour members may have more faith in him, as opposed to Guido thoughts on expenses.

The next speaker must be English

Since Labour's anti-English devolution settlement and its campaign against the identity of England with is EU inspired regional balkanisation campaign England has never been in a position with less natural justice and more exploitation by the other members of the Union.

Its time that a convention was established where, as long as the British Parliament that sits in Westminster is the only Parliament that England has representation in that its speaker should be representing an English constituency.

The role of the speaker is about to get much more important with the next parliament for the English, even if we are to be currently denied our sovereign right and popular wish for our own Parliament - as is granted to all the other peoples of these isles.

The next speaker must be an MP for an English constituency and ideally be English.
