I watched the speech; looks like he's timing this to ensure that the current remainer majority gets to pick his successor in case the new government is pro-leave and new members are "whipped senseless" into voting a pro-leave leave speaker.
It had not occurred to me that Bercow could be acting as corruptly as you say. But now that you mention it, that is just the sort of bias and partiality that he has become notorious for. We will see how that works out.
wow Bercow really fcked up Johnson. But this is also preposterous! Really..the british system has another hole after another. How is it possible the speaker of any parliament to be elected by the previous parliament? In any sane democracy every speaker is elected by the parliament they have to rule over.
No. Sadly you fail to even grasp the notion of what this pact entails. The Tories will just run some token candidates in these Labour strongholds, and will leave them for the Brexit party. In other cities the opposite will happen. People in the north and midlands will NEVER forgive the party that brought them to financial and social ruin the last 3 decades. Would you support a satanist just because you happened to agree with what he recently said? Nope.
then what are you suggesting if not grasping at straws, not appointing a commisioner hoping for an EU expulsion? Exactly what I said. Delusion all around.
It is their decision to delay. Whats the problem? It's not like Brexit will end up on the day of Brexit. Brexit itself is only the end of the beginning. Now multi years negotiations on all areas will have to start. If there is no deal, there will just be 10 times the problems and 10 times the issues that the UK will have to negotiate over. Just because you Brexit, it doesn't mean you make Ireland dissappear.
Chaotic scenes right now in Westminster. MPs tried to physically stop the Speaker from going to complete the prorogation. Then all opposition MPs refused to leave and they are staying and singing in the House.
Now that the thestrics in Parliament are over, the Prime Minister and the UK government can finally get busy working on fulfilling the mandate of the people as expressed through the 2016 Brexit Referendum.
What a surprise he had to close down parliament. There's still time until mid November to break the record of all time. Only need two months of parliament time, and Boris Johnson can really go down in history.
It may surprise you but we aren't talking about you. We are talking about the people of northern England of which you don't have the faintest idea apparently. Sadly we can see the root of your ignorance. Blinders and refusal to listen, learn and be educated. You can do better than that, open a book and improve yourself.
your English seems to need much improvement. Google translate is much better these days. You asked if I would support someone if I agreed with their ideas and rhetoric or be a religious bigot. You assumed the normal thing would be to be a religious bigot. I guess that's your day to day operations.
https://edition-m.cnn.com/2019/09/09/europe/john-bercow-resigns-gbr-intl/index.html He is having his cake and eating it too. He gets to preside over the critical late october debates while tipping the scales in favor of a pro-remain sucessor speaker. For context, he has already overstayed - he previously said he would leave after 9 years and it's year 10. This isn't a capitulation to pressure, this is well timed revenge.
