She's brilliant, she should be Speaker, not Deputy. She could easily be the best Speaker since Betty Boothroyd; she'd certainly be an improvement on Lindsay Hoyle.

[@TheRealist2022]

No. She's AS GOOD.

[@SrAustria]

I must say, she's more elegant and good-humored than our current Speaker.

[@DigitalMangoShake]

She was up for speakership but Lindsey Hoyle got more votes. I was rooting for her though.

Bunch of big kids in a playground.

[@anneyyyyy8025]

people want their politicians to be transparent and accountable, parliamentary system is a good example of this. AND NOW they're answering the people and they're arguing state matter. You described them as "kids in a playground"?! hypocrite. I'm sure you're from a not so democratic country where your politicians are afraid to face the ppl. LOL
