It's what should be expected of the majority of high level positions where few positions are available but a lot of candidates are available. Whatever is useful in the situation. Intellect, patience, uncanny memory, obsession with process, creativity, etc… There are a lot of different kinds of people in the world. Some can play mental chess reliably, some can remember many books word for word, some can cause laughter where otherwise there might be fighting, these are all real even if not common.

Defending democracy, for its curse and its shining example of how it should be done, looking out for all members of the elected, regardless of what party they belong to. It seems almost churlish to say democracy is messy, slow, and not easy, but goodness I love seeing it in action, it is really amazing to see such varied and different views be heard and respectfully listened to, even hostile ones, love it! I think in all its messy chaos, this is democracy at its best, no ones voice is ignored or sidelined.

[@Counttom90]

The context of this is do with Brexit, and Theresa May's Brexit deal. The speaker allowed a vote on an amendment to be made to the deal ("by the member for Beaconsfield - Sir Dominic Grieve, who was a staunch remainer) saying that if the Brexit deal got voted down that the government would have to tell everyone what it would do within 3 days (which the government didn't want to do, 3 days isn't very long). This amendment passed and was therefore added. The government had previously submitted a "procedural motion" that the deal was unamendable, which the speaker had ignored by allowing the vote on the amendment. Many pro-brexiteers are here basically accusing the speaker of bias as they believed he did this because he was anti-brexit, which he at the time denied and said he was impartial. Since the speaker retired he his since "come out" as anti-brexit, saying it was the "biggest mistake in 70 years", but is adamant he always maintained his impartiality. People will have their own opinions on that.
