You're absolutely correct on Bercow who was placed in office with the support of a majority of Labour MP's, which is about as good an example of the bankruptcy of the LP as anyone could wish to see. It also shows the MP's still do not get it? They have voted for a man who is cut from the same clothe and sees nothing wrong with flipping , etc.
The whole Westminster parliament is a dung heap of a milking parlor, it needs mucking out, thoroughly washed down and populated by some pedigree prized working class heifer's who would go on to produce the finest cream. (Sorry I get carried away sometimes as I spent by childhood on a farm ;)
Came across this service from the League Against Cruel Sports where they offer a system where all your Parliamentary Prospective Candidates for the 2015 General Election in your constituency are contacted to find their views on aspects of hunting and animal welfare. The system works by the PPCs clicking on an email sent from me to select their views on the LACS website. http://www.league.org.uk/our-campaigns/election-manifesto/take-action-for-animals-general-election-2015 Thought I'd give it a punt as it's very easy to do. So I plug in my details and click the button to send. In my constituency of Aldershot there are 5 candidates that appeared on the LACSs system. Mr Carl Hewitt - Green Mr Alan Hilliar - Liberal Democrat Sir Gerald Howarth MP - Conservative Mr Gary Puffett - Labour Mr William Walker - UKIP My emails went out at 11am on Saturday 14th March. By 7:30 that evening I had an email. It was from Gerald Howarth, the sitting MP. As he said in his email ...
As the title says. This will be my last post at Lansbury's Lido. I've finally decided to retire this blog to the heavenly archive or maybe I'll consign it to the fiery furnace leaving nowt but a shadow on the wayback machine. It's been a good ride over the years, sharing my lefty thoughts on politics and current events, sharing posts and discussions, meeting some great comrades, and also some not so great, hoping for a great socialist future where peace and harmony reigns supreme! Alas the wheels came off the bus as they say. Was it my expectations or viewing the possible futures through rose-tinted spectacles of memories past? My Left was a Left of Keir Hardie, of George Lansbury, of Attlee and Bevan and the NHS, Of Eric Heffer and Tom Mann. A left of strong union leaders working with comrades to realise Clause 4! A Left where those whose labour and brain created the wealth got to share in and control the wealth. A Left open to all, from the hoary handed worker...

Too much goodness in a dung heap to compare it to the Commons!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't put a fag paper between Bercow and new Labour and it wouldn't surprise me if he walked across the floor at some point.
So the MPs have ended up with the Speaker they want and the public have ended up with the Commons they deserve.
Big question is how do we change it?
