Speaker Michael Martin should have been a Tory
The reason was simple. It showed that once an MP became Speaker he was not a creature of party but of Parliament.
Well, Golly. I never knew that.
However, as evidenced by the recently breached 'convention' of not 'talking' down your country's currency (as opposed actively doing everything possible to render it worthless), as a citizen I now live in dread of how more many more of these fusty old traditions will be laid waste to by the new breed of Gov 3.0 Blackberry-toting commissars of the Village with their Useful Idiots in tow.
Maybe time to protect a few of these abilities to either have a contrary view or at least stand proud of petty partisanship... before they get summarily dispatched?

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
