Please nominate the VP member of your choice.

I cant see Keith Vaz's name on the list?
He would make a great speaker.
The bastard.

Not Margaret Beckett. If she were a horse I would shoot her.
Oh, pass my gun redface:

Give it to the lovely Ann Widdecombe ~ she has already said she will stand down at the General Election and we can then have a clean sweep and let them choose from whoever is left standing after the votes have been counted. Meanwhile Ann will be a safe pair of honest hands who at least knows what's what in the HoP ........... You know it makes sense
-
I voted for her angel1
-
The speaker of the house should not be an MP. They are elected to represent their constituencies & that should be their only role.
Thinking about it, you want someone in the role who isnt going to be afraid of telling MP's they are being arseholes, so how about Gordon Ramsay or Simon Cowell.

How hypocritical can this government aim to be - when we have gone to war with countries for not having a democracy in place and pretending they are threatening their citizens and others - yet now the machiavellian labour whips are "allegedly " trying to 'influence ' the vote for a new speaker with great gusto noooo:

I think she is the obvious choice.
Plus, she will enjoy being manhandled to the woolsack, not to mention allowing Black Rod to enter.

Time for a new start - for a new wholesome regime in Parliament - this is the man that can make changes, that is unscrupulous, morally virtuous and willput his needs before others noooo: noooo: noooo:
details of Mr Bercow’s expenses raised questions over whether he was the right man to clean up the parliamentary allowances system. Land Registry records obtained by The Daily Telegraph showed that in May 2003, six months after he got married, Mr Bercow sold his constituency home in Adstock, Bucks, for £162,000 and bought another house in the county. Records do not show how much profit he made.
In September 2003, Mr Bercow sold a flat in Victoria, London, for £335,000, which he had bought in 1998 for an undisclosed sum. He and his wife, Sally, then bought a flat in a nearby block.
Mr Bercow, a former merchant banker, flipped the designation of his second home between London and his constituency so that each house was designated as his main home at the time he sold it, meaning he did not have to pay CGT.
A list of MPs who have repaid money claimed on expenses, published by parliament last week, showed that Mr Bercow paid back £1,470.62 he claimed on his office expenses but it was not disclosed what the repayment was for.
In addition to his parliamentary salary, Mr Bercow is paid between £35,000 and £40,000 as an adviser to a private health care company registered in the Cayman Islands.
