    The Speaker of the House of Commons is John Bercow, the Conservative MP for Buckingham. So who represents Buckingham in Parliament? No one. What can the residents of Buckingham do about it? Nothing. Really? Yes. What? I know, right!

    Mr Bercow once came to watch my Buckinghamshire village's bi-annual amateur dramatics production, I was one of the foyer staff and during the interval he bought some raffle tickets from me. He was a very well spoken and lovely man who genuinely seemed to be enjoying the evening. He also visited my school a few times (twice while I was there) when he was the Speaker. A seemingly increasingly rare example of a respectable Tory MP.

    He is mostly unbiased, as much as he can be. He was a conservative but my local MP who's conservative also said to me that a lot of his colleagues don't like him so his ties to the party are mostly dead. My local MP can't stand him too, I love Bercow though.He's hilarious in my opinion and he happens to be a well-spoken fellow. He brightens the commons. He's the biggest reason why I watch the full PMQs on a Wednesday. Also he only represents Buckingham on local issues. He was against HS2 and he was in a committee and he represented the people of Buckingham because the line was going to severely effect some of the villages. Sadly they didn't listen to him.

      He seems to be a great chap and takes his job seriously. That doesn't however, address the issue that his constituents aren't represented (at least he wants to change it though). You could also get an absolute arsehole of a speaker, and their constituents would be stuck with said speaker.

    • @derekhorne8076
      @derekhorne8076 7 років тому +10

      Got to say that I do usually like Bercow - though I do wish he would occasionally admonish Helen Goodman who is the single worst member for screeching out when someone else is talking and can often clearly be heard on tv above everyone else. Besides that, he does a good job - however, I do tend to prefer when either Lindsay Hoyle or Eleanor Lang are in the chair. Often they seem to have better control and usually gain great respect from the other MPs.

    As a resident of Buckingham, can confirm its a flipping nightmare. But Bercow actually served his people quite well (I had pals having issues with visas for a multinational family, and knew some wronged old people he helped get justice). Very good to hear you pronouncing 'Farage' correctly. My Dad's friend (a scholar and socialist living in Winslow) was once stopped by Sky News for a tasty soundbite on Farages local campaigning, and he stopped the reporter half way through his sentence saying 'Look, MATE, I know I present as Tory, but those of us from the wrong side of the tracks call a garage a garage.'

    1:04 That's John Bercow's, yes the Conservative, coat of arms. Before becoming speaker, he was part of the Tory Reform Group, which just sounds like liberalism with extra steps. He's long fought for queer rights, hence why that's on his coat of arms. The ladder represents how he was born the son of a taxi driver, and the social climbing he had to do to get to be speaker.

    The thing I love most about these videos is the modesty and attention to detail. Like the fun facts, on the speaker cards which were actually interesting or the old style advertisement warning in the top. But the best part is that these small things weren't advertised (pun intended)

    Over in BC, this was actually a huge issue. We had a hung parliament 43-41-3. The NDP (41) and Greens (3) formed government but with the speaker staying neutral, every vote would have been 43-43. So the NDP convinced a Liberal to become speaker, he did and then was immediately booted out of his party. The NDP and Greens didn't want him. So he sat as an independent. And in the election everyone was gunning for his seat because pretty much every party didn't like him.

    This issue genuinely frustrates me. The first general election after I came of voting age, I actively made an effort to look into the candidates, policies, and make an educated decision on who I wanted to vote for.
    I made up my mind, and it wasn't Tory...It was then I discovered the nonsense speaker tradition, and it infuriated me, and I didn't vote as it made me feel like my voice didn't matter.
    And it still does make me feel that way...I used to ballot spoil, but unless that's done en masse, there's no point, so I vote for any alternative that isn't amoral...Which in this area, is basically just Green.
    Some democracy this is, when there's a whole section of the UK that doesn't get a fair choice of options by comparison to literally the rest of the country. Then they wonder why some people don't bother voting at all...

    John Bercow has said that his role was very much similar to that of an ordinary MP, he attends meetings with constituents, as an ordinary MP, is able to try and redress grievances they have. The main thing is that he doesn't vote, and isn't a member of a party. He's an MP, so does stand for reelection, so constituents do have a chance to chuck him out (albeit an unlikely one, given no major parties, other than Green, forward candidates)
