When I speak of OUR parliament I it is the dutch HoC, de tweede kamer. It is chaired by a woman. Bercow visited her and had a look how the dutch perform in parliament. Which is boring to the extreme. For a good evening of circus we watch the proceedings in your HoC. Although there is an abundance of clowns performing there and too little wild animal acts and acts on the high trapeze.

It seems bercow is especially attractive for women, but it may come as a surprise to you donks, our women are not prone to misconduct. And I doubt british women are different in that respect.
In view of your nodding and winking, should we ever meet, I will tell my wife to avoid being alone with you.

I agree. That's his job.

Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten the bit about being unbiased, as evidenced by just about every example of Commons debates I have seen.

I can understand your annoyance. You're not used to giving the opposition room to state their opinion. But like someone said, if you are losing the game, it is very bad form to blame the referee.

Perhaps you should watch this address to the oxford union to get an idea of the speaker's job. https://youtu.be/wUAOUT56tPw

The Electorate is the referee.

Bercow is a linesman who keeps flagging offside!

Typical brexiter attitude. Having an opinion on what the job is without knowledge of the facts. Your mp's had that same attitude, until reality hit them. Now they are running around putting up benn bill, going to court, trying to salvage the sinking brexit ship.

It is to be expected that brexit figures in a conversation, and that both agree parliament has an important role to play. But whether that constitutes negotiating? If you think it does, no wonder that the UK got nowhere in negotiations with the EU. You brits apparently have no idea what negotiating distinguishes from a conservation between collegues.

Yeah, I would love to see the discussion reach a higher level, but the leavers on here are incapable of it. So we make do with some simple exchanges. Remainers offering facts, brexiters mowing them down with the scythe of blind ignorance and inability to process new information. A dying breed, thank god.
