Probably because the Conservatives feel Bercow has defied convention in not being as even handed as he should be. He seems to have a great deal of sympathy with Left Wing causes to put it mildly. Bercow has contributed nothing to the parliamentary process. Everything he does is for the benefit of John Bercow and his ego. His actions and pronouncements are intended only to elevate his status and feelings of self importance or to vent his spite on Members who have criticised his behaviour

Sorry Tabby, we've already had a John, and what balls up he made of the job! So I'll have to pass on that one, I don't even have a middle name as well, boo hoo.

Agree wholeheartedly PD. If only we could have a clone of Betty Boothroyd.

I wouldn't choose any of that lot listed.
I don't include the Brexiteers favourite in the above, because he wouldn't get a look in with this Junta anyway.

That is the most worrying point, that the speaker's role has been severely damaged by berk bercow.

Harperson is determined to get the job apparently, but will she be able to remain non-partisan and be neutral in any debates unlike the odious John Bercow?

Bercow usurped "Gorbals Mick" and that took real ability.
