He is so in love with the Labour Party it is a fact that he does not have to allow the government to govern! He must also be thoroughly enjoying giving pro-EU MP’s leeway when it comes to voting in favour against Brexit, such as allowing an amendment by Dominic Grieve to a government business of the House motion.
Andrea Leadsom, as Commons leader, was spitting feathers, but could do nothing.
The man is a national disgrace, but then the House of Commons is a joke anyway.
Well, I think nothing is going to change.
Bercow will no doubt remain in his position of dictator at least until the next general election.
In the meantime, he will oppose anything the government (such as it is) tries to do and, as you say, will support Labour and oppose Brexit as much as he can.
Unless something happens in the meantime - perhaps an early GE - we shall quite possibly remain in the EU until then, with Bercow and the other remainers ensuring that we do.
Ideally, sooner or later, when the GE is called things might change. Even so, that will depend upon how we vote, and we still have the democratic right to vote for a government even if the two main parties will continue to do what they feel is best for them.
If people have had enough by then and, by some miracle, the Brexit Party is elected with a working majority, we may then achieve what 17.4 million people voted for.
Unfortunately, I have little confidence in our voters. There are still many who, despite all the evidence, vote for parties like Labour, the Limp Dems and the SNP.
I suppose what will be, will be. We get what we deserve, except most of us at the moment won't deserve a Labour-Limp Dem coalition!
