Conservatives do not like their fellow-Conservative Speaker of the House, John Bercow, who was elected in a transparent ballot. So, William Hague is using the last day of this Parliament to try change it so election of Speaker is done by secret ballot.
Why? So Tories cannot be seen NOT voting for someone of their own party.
“William Hague, who is Leader of the Commons until he quits as an MP, tonight stunned opposition parties by drastically tabling the change to the rules.”
What can you say except: DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE
who trample on democracy and who want EVERYTHING decided behind closed doors.
