Questions to the Speaker of the House - John Bercow

[scouser]

I think a great question to ask is why is there so many backbenchers asleep during debates ?
I always wanted to know this 😂😂😂😂

[Cabbie]

I'd ask him why he doesn't make the Prime Minister actually answer the questions during Prime Ministers Question time

I'd ask
Does he ever swear?
How does he feel about the impression The House gives on TV with all the heckling and guffawing?
What is his favourite area of the buildings?
Are there any little secret areas or hidden passageways?

I would ask how does he remember all of the MP’s names and constituencies

Good question!

[Princess Alison]

How about a question that cannot be googled such as:

What has been his most memorable moment in the house?

What’s the most unusual thing that happened in the house?

Did he ever anticipate that he’d be speaker of the house?

What advice would he give to someone thinking of going into politics?

If he could change one thing about the political system, what would it be?

If he could bring about a change to any law or piece of legislation, what would it be?

Does he sometimes wish he could vote for or against something? If so what was it?

Did he get any training for the job?

So once he's 'in situ', his constituents are not able to exercise their democratic right to vote!

They can vote. He cannot vote on issues in Parliament on their behalf. Equally they don’t have good choices of candidates

Convention says no one will stand against him. So since he's been speaker there has been no other major party putting up a candidate. Therefore they have had no effective vote.

And whilst he continues to act and lobby on constituency issues, his constituency views on political issues cannot be taken into account.

So pointless vote.
