In this video, we listen to some of the MP's messages to Bercow as well as reflecting on what he's done as Speaker - and what he might do next.

    When they remove a fan favorite from the show, there is little reason left to watch it.
    Also, I have to admit that Johnson's words were pretty funny. Trump wouldn't be able to do that.

    Agree with him or not, like him or not, the House of Commons will lose an absolute character and a lot of its flair with him. I will miss his sharp tongue and witty quibs. Thank you Mr. Speaker.

    I really hope his successor tries to live up to his legacy and uphold his precedents. Bercow was not only entertaining and well spoken, he was an ardent defender of the role of Parliament in governance and the protection of it's rights.
    As an observer of this whole affair, I'll miss Speaker Bercow... I wish we had a speaker of his caliber here, and I hope those of you in the UK will be lucky enough to get another one in the future, though unfortunately I'm not sure that's likely.

    Has Bercow shifted to the center, or has the right wing shifted to the extreme?

    • @AlecDenholm
      @AlecDenholm Před 4 lety +1

      I think that's a very pertinent question. I suspect a bit of both but it does seem that the right is becoming more extreme, probably because it feels under threat from the general shift in Western countries towards the left. One day though I think we'll look back and wonder how the idea of access to healthcare was considered a leftist agenda rather than a basic human right.

  • @sarowie
    @sarowie Před 4 lety +6

    Did Bercow become more left or did the conservatives stride towards the right to meet the brexit party in the middle? Hard to tell. I mean, when Boris Johnson rebelled against the Prime Minister, he was allowed to stay in the party. But rebelling against him leads to being removed from the party. Very hard to tell what would happen if you leave right wing extremist in a party and remove moderates.

    • @wertor666
      @wertor666 Před 4 lety +2

      Moods and the views have been polarized after referendum. I can tell you that Bercow really popularized British politics in Europe. I've heard about him for the first time in march 2019 and I'm from Poland.

    • @dragoon3266
      @dragoon3266 Před 4 lety +2

      sarowie Perhaps my perception of the man is incorrect but I don’t think Bercow necessarily came more to the left as Speaker, it’s just that he fought to protect the rights of Parliament and refused to let the government bully Parliament into the passage of laws where no actual majority exists, and since the government was Conservative for his entire tenure that made him appear more supportive of Labour, the next largest party. Of course as Speaker he shouldn’t just bend over and allow the government to do whatever it wants to Parliament, but a lot of Conservatives seem to think him a traitor for trying his best during some politically tumultuous times.

    One can't see what happens behind the screens, so I won't speak on that. However, calling out the most powerful people in the country for being twats and not following the rules and decorum, that they otherwise stand up for when they can use it in their own advantage. Is not bullying. It's doing his damn job as speaker. Something all politicians should take note off. And if they don't like his light jabs, than they should come outside and hear what the people have to say about them, and then they'll learn the true meaning of bullying. Snowflakes the lot of them.

    Whilst I don't condone bullying, I think it's bloody marvellous that MPs get a public dressing down if they step out of line. They need to be held accountable not only for their decisions and policies, but their behaviour as our employees and as human beings.
