So the Labour party leadership look like getting the tame Tory Speaker they always wanted, the chance to pretend that the Speaker is a Conservative not a CINO (Conservative In Name Only) and John Bercow gets a nice fat salary and juicy pension.
Maybe I should stand against John Bercow at the general election, it'd be fun to see him be out of a job in under a year.
Political Betting think that it isn't done and dusted. Oh to see the faces of the Labour left when they see an old-Etonian Conservative leader, an old-Etonian London Mayor and an old-Etonian Speaker. Why do they obsess over educational history.
Update:
Unfortunately it is John Bercow, not a lot of resistance as he is "dragged" to the Speaker's chair.
NotaSheep's conclusion - He cannot be as bad as the despicable, biased and inept Michael Martin was, nor as bad and as biased as Margaret Beckett would have been. I just hope that at PMQs on Wednesday John Bercow actually shows some backbone and warns Gordon Brown for lying to the House if he does so.

good points. Bercow is, of course, on notice.
By convention, the opposition parties do not have candidates standing against the Speaker.
Oh! But I forget! Speaker Bercow doesn't 'do' convention, does he?
Or does he only do the conventions he likes?
