[@Salted_Fysh]

I'm very sad to see Bercow go. Whatever your opinion of him, he has initiated many reforms in the position as speaker aimed at increasing the accessibility of the British parliamentary system to the public and allowing MPs with families to attend parliamentary sittings. And while his impartiality has often been called into question, it was always very evident that if anything Bercow was partial to parliament first and foremost. His voice always encouraged discussion from both sides of the chamber and brought a bit of order into the kindergarten that is the House of Commons. This has of course put him on the flamingolist of many of the more populist voices that felt he was being unfair to them, but a speaker should and must have the confidence and conviction to stand up to his detractors without being shunned into silence. Whoever the next speaker shall be, they will have some very big shoes to fill.

One of Bercow's best qualities was his unswerving devotion to maintain the integrity of Parliament, something he did almost instinctively.

As such, given her vast political experience, the only valid option for the role is Harriet Harman.

[@andrewbowman4611]

No, I mean his devotion to uphold Parliamentary democracy. Did he get things wrong? Certainly, but that's more the fault of the ambiguous nature of the British constitution. Bercow irks those on the left, right, and centre. That's as non-partisan as it's possible to be. I don't doubt that he occasionally crossed the line but he could always justify his actions according to the terms of his office. Arguably, he's been the most effective speaker since Betty Boothroyd.

[@andrewbowman4611]

Which was?

[@andrewbowman4611]

Parliament's role is not to uphold the will of the people. Its role is to do what's best for the country. As is becoming increasingly evident, leaving the EU without a deal in place would not be good for Britain. Johnson's peculiar brand of sledgehammer tactics go against Parliamentary law.
