[Politics] Brexit

[BensGrandad]

Why?

Because he considers himself to be the main man and will do everything to get his own way as he has shown in the past. So it would be in Boris best interest and suit his purpose to get rid of him now before he can do any more damage..

The speaker is the “main man” though, it’s how parliament works.

The Manchester Central Convention Complex,where the Conservative and Unionist Party conference is being held, is part funded by the EU, as part of the European regional development fund.


Ironic, really.

You're not worried about Boris doing any more damage? Jesus wept.

With more power than the PM whoever it is and Parliament/Government itself, how can that be right? He is just nominated for the post by the house with no special ability or qualification.

But what exactly has Bercow done that has been incorrect, against the rules, against precedence? Nothing so far as I can see. Can you list examples of where he has actually done something wrong, rather than just permitting democracy and Parliament to act?

Don’t hold your breath.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that he has done nothing actually wrong but has steered parliament to what he wants the outcome of Brexit to be.and towards remain.

Depends what you mean by power. He’s, in effect, the chairperson for House of Commons. And we have all now become aware of the powers this brings. He’s pretty powerful I’d say.

And I believe they’re elected to the position. As for qualification, what qualification does any MP need?

It's all about the money money money.

And not getting blown up?

Isn't he elected by the house?

 

[sparkie]

Could Berscow be removed before he is due to retire? If so by whom

Yes, but there arn't the numbers now in the commons to do so. He is gone in 31 days anyway.

 

[zefarelly]

About the same as an estate agent. Or 'civil engineer'

He has been elected three times by all the MPs. 2010, 2015 and 2017.

As for power, he is the referee, so yes, he has power.

It’s Bercow’s job to make sure the majority in Parliament has it’s say and gets it’s way. He does not represent the people or the winners of any particularly referendum. Maybot went to the electorate to get the power to sweep away people like Bercow; the Country then decided there should be less Tory MPs than before.

Parliament is all powerful now and will hopefully lop the arrogant and entitled disaster capitalist head off this disgraceful Tory government in the coming days.

What you seeing is the result of May blowing away her majority and Boris turning the Government into a minority one.

Blame the speaker, remainers even Crystal Palace if you like. The reality is that the Government has lost all it's power, Parliament can walk all over it and they have no one to blame but themselves.

May could still have got us out (with a NI only backstop) ignored the DUP, got that through Parliament and be forced to call an election. Nope she was insistent on retaining their fragile majority.

This was also Boris Plan A (with added NI referendum), but he blinked and went to plan B which was shutting down parliament instead. That failed.

You understand what is happening here ? The Tories worry about the party over the country. But it's massively backfired.

You don't offer £40,000 payments to sacked advisors unless

1) You sacked them unfairly and don't want to end up on court.
2) You want them to keep their mouth shut. i.e. You don't want to them to take a similar amount from The Sunday Times to spill the beans.
