Turning my stomach

MPs jostle in race for Speaker

What is this? A playground?

A role now evidently critical to the governance of the country and it's someone's TURN?

And with a thoroughly discredited entity trying to appeal to a disgusted and disenfranchised population, this about sums up the appeal of THEM getting to decide: 'There are more of us than there are Tories'.

I was reading about Gloucestershire, where about the only way the Labour incumbent could hang on is to toss his hat in the ring, because 'convention' requires his Tory opposition to stand down.

WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTORATE AND THEIR RIGHT TO DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED REPRESENTATION?

This is not trying to find the prom King or Queen.
