[@tafm3446]

This is the problem with people these days. Just cos you are dealing with serious business does not mean you should forget your sense of humor (assuming you had one in the first place). Things need to change. More needs to be done to encourage the youth to get into politics. Bercow did that for most youth including me and quite a few of my friends. Tell you what, even Boris does very well to engage young people in politics too. I don't like much of Boris' policies but that part of his character, I wish more politicians, nay, more humans had that quality.

I can understand that british people are not happy with their parliament, but the whole discussion about Brexit seems pretty strange from a german point of view. How can anyone expect to have „great trade deals“ with the rest of the world when you reduce your market from 450 million people to about 55 million people? Why didnˋ t you have those great deals in the past? Germany is one of the biggest export nations under EU rules. No one prohibited the UK to be an export nation. Japan refused the UK the trade conditions that you had in the EU. The UK was very important as a member of the EU, outside the EU you lose a lot of this importance. It would have been of much greater use for everyone if the UK would have used this effort to improve the EU rather than to leave the EU. There will be a lot of disappointment on both sides in the near future and that is really a pitty!

The EU has the idea to be more than a common market. And „democracy“ is more than the vote over „Brexit“. There are 27 other countries in the EU and 49 percent in the UK. Do not misunderstand me. The EU has more great problems than the UK has great deals, but it has still the greater opportunities than the UK with Brexit. I agree that the EU should start to solve its own great problems rather than being trapped in discussions and negotating with a country that wants to go its own way.

I watch Parliament nearly every day from Malta and wish you all the future can give you and your family for the honesty you provided. I will miss watching your humour whenever its needed. Thanks.

Proper Speaker. In future years we really needed one.

[@Floral_Green]

Black Philip I’m not a fan of any contemporary politician, but you’re just nitpicking for its own sake; the guy clearly had a fair bit to say, which isn’t particularly easy to ad-lib (unless you’re an orator in the vein of, say, the late great Johnathan Bowden, of course).

[@fredericktaylor7890]

From Australia, I only watched the House of Commons because of Speaker John Bercow. He is the benchmark of what a Speaker is supposed to do and be, in all our Weatminster parliamentary systems. Too often, the Speaker is a puppet of the executive, and parliamentary democracy is diminished as a consequence. Vale, John Bercow; it's not only the UK that admires you and will miss you.

[@easternise]

Bercow should be elevated to the house of Lords.

That will be a nice plot twist for Brexit season 5.

John Bercow was the speaker of the world, whose authority would rise and fall with the situations, long live Bercow long live!!!!!

He was a dreadful speaker at the end. The new one is so much better.

[@MrPantss]

He was THE most entertaining speaker ever, love him or hate him, I think the country watched parliament more as a result of Bercow, especially his oooooorrrrrrrdeeeeeeer!

Watching this when you’re stoned and you’re not English is truly an experience. At one stage when the Irish woman was talking, I actually thought I was moved by her words until I realised I didn’t understand her. 🤣
