Intellect, patience, uncanny memory, obsession with process, creativity, etc… There are a lot of different kinds of people in the world.

Drop John Bercow on the battlefield of WW2; he will shout "Ooor-dah!" and go on about, " ... The right honorable Germans, while a distinguished member of our continent, I ask graciously, to not prate on with the affairs of a bore in a society who's most herculean task shall not exceed mere cavil at the provincial level." That's it. War over.
Wow, very impressive. Probably the most hostile environment imaginable, yet handled with aplomb! Humour, jokes, charisma and respect to people even when they are trying to undermine him and put the boot in. Defending democracy, for its curse and its shining example of how it should be done, looking out for all members of the elected, regardless of what party they belong to. It seems almost churlish to say democracy is messy, slow, and not easy, but goodness I love seeing it in action, it is really amazing to see such varied and different views be heard and respectfully listened to, even hostile ones, love it! I think in all its messy chaos, this is democracy at its best, no ones voice is ignored or sidelined.
Yes. Drop John Bercow on the battlefield of WW2; he will shout "Ooor-dah!" and go on about, " ...

"The responsibility is mine." Thank you. Finally, a man acting as a man: taking responsibility! Not "ducking" (quoting him again) his responsibilities, but executing them without fear. This is often seen as arrogance when it is the opposite. Humility finds vent in this kind of public servanthood.
The context of this is do with Brexit, and Theresa May's Brexit deal. The speaker allowed a vote on an amendment to be made to the deal ("by the member for Beaconsfield - Sir Dominic Grieve, who was a staunch remainer) saying that if the Brexit deal got voted down that the government would have to tell everyone what it would do within 3 days (which the government didn't want to do, 3 days isn't very long). This amendment passed and was therefore added. The government had previously submitted a "procedural motion" that the deal was unamendable, which the speaker had ignored by allowing the vote on the amendment. Many pro-brexiteers are here basically accusing the speaker of bias as they believed he did this because he was anti-brexit, which he at the time denied and said he was impartial. Since the speaker retired he his since "come out" as anti-brexit, saying it was the "biggest mistake in 70 years", but is adamant he always maintained his impartiality. People will have their own opinions on that.
Seriously... I could (and do, obviously ;) listen to *Speaker Bercow* for hours as his eloquence of turn of extemporaneous phrase is truly remarkable and gives me joy !!
Bercow is ONE clever individual! I can understand the upsets...and the disagreements from the ones that pose their point of order or case.......but Bercow is DEAD ON correct...in everything he said :s Now THAT takes effort...to be that involved and engaged...not to mention spontaniously recalling directives and rules that the next wouldnt even remember ever reading...if they ever DID at alll....
WOW, MR.SPEAKER JOHN BERCOW, you are truly amazing. Good on you. The people are really watching how you're governing the House of Commons, giving instructions, and re- iterating the laws when needs to. I wish we had honest, fighters like yourself here serving the people in the U.S. I believe the Americans would greatly appreciate you. But good luck on your task as you all quarrel over how to leave the EU by the 29 of this month. I wish the U.K. luck and prosperity, on that journey.

Mr Bercow loves his own voice, loves the attention and loves the power. I am not saying that he was a bad speaker. But from the point of the view of others, he was deeply disliked by most MPs.
The description on this video is sorely lacking. What is the main motion? Sounds like an amendment is in play; what is the amendment? What was the action taken by the speaker that is so hotly contested?
All MPs are “Honorable Members.” “Right Honorable Members” are ministers that have also been appointed to the Queen’s Privy Council, the body of ministers that (nominally) advises the monarch.
In addition, he has never once expressed bias in his conduct as Speaker of the House of Commons, especially with regard to the UK’s separation from the EU.
Here is a man who was for a considerable time a Tory MP, He sees his role as Speaker of The House as being beyond party allegiance, He sees impartiality as being at the service of The House not the Executive, Because he makes a ruling which breaks precedent and displeases The Executive,,at 57,56 his integrity and impartiality are impugned,What a reflection on the Tories, Bercows view on precedent is unimpeachable A precedent is held to be applicable only for as long as it is held to be appropriate, IT cannot be inviolable because if it were no statute or law would ever be changed, Eight year old children would still be hung for theft as they were in the 1830s, At 53,55 a Tory argument is made that out there there are,,,,a lot of people who believe there is a conspiracy and a procedural stitch up,,,,,thst is grossly out of tough with the Referendum result, The argument is that irrespective of any other argument The Speaker must NEVER do anything that might encourage conspiracy theorists to believe in their conspiracy theory, That means of course that The Speaker would never be able to do or say ANYTHING because there are enough conspiracy theories to cover everything, We see here the slow and possibly irreversible death of language thought and reason in the U,K,
Bercow was and is a Tory. However, he grew to be hated by the Tories because of his perceived bias during Brexit. As Speaker, he was very good and he was absolutely light years ahead of the incumbent, Hoyle, who is an absolutely appalling individual and an appalling Speaker - just reference the SNP/Gaza debate issue for one example - another, the amount of times he interrupted Starmer during PMQs - despite what you think of that, Hoyle absolutely wasted it time and again including when Starmer was destroying Johnson in his famous turn over Partygate. Hoyle is an utter disgrace.
I doubt a written constitution would help. The points were largely about parliamentary procedure, which is usually left up to the parliament itself to establish (see, e.g., the US Constitution, which gives each house of Congress the power to establish its own rules of procedure).
"I also regard the clerks of the hourse in the same light". You mean the unelected bureaucrats are the same as the two time elected speaker who is accountable for decisions?
I wonder what the honourable and right honourable raucous school kids hope to become when they grow up…and a Leader of the House it seems to me should not demean herself and her office by behaving as Leader of a Profoundly Unattractive Clique.
@@logos9434 I see Bercow was nailed yesterday after making one of his usual sarcastic put downs of a Brexiteer MP. He had to apologise ... So yep Bercow is a tosser .. yes I agree.
The difference is Bercow takes responsibility for and rectifies his mistakes. His championing of the sovereignty of parliament (something Brexiteers wanted) shows his integrity. He puts the country before party and, so far, he is virtually the only one doing so. He is a fantastic asset to our parliament and a class act.
@@logos9434 And you Remainers are supposed to be 'superior' and 'better educated' and 'know best' and yet all you morons do is peddle abuse and project false stereotypical crap.
