I may be proved wrong and hope I am but my gut feeling is that Bercow is a mistake that will need to be rectified after the next General Election, the man just does not look right, just another politician on the make. Replacing Michael Martin seems to have produced yet another dud which reflects a very dull House of Commons in dire need of a cull.

It was interesting watching the brou ha ha going on and it struck me strongly that these MPs had still learned nothing from the events of these past few months, if they had, Widdercombe would have been the public choice by a clear margin. The Commons really needed to show that it was serious about reform and transition and a Speaker prepared to take the job on a tempoary basis, to the next election, would have set the right tone.
