Citrines A B C of Chairmanship states practically the same thing.
Speaker Bercow |
There is a rule book for Commons procedural business, Erskine May, in much the same way as Citrines ABC of Chairmanship provides guidance for business at other meetings around the country. The Speaker John Bercow has made a ruling according Erskine May and has quite rightly, ruled that the Government cannot bring a third Meaningful vote back to the Commons unless the text and content is substantially different from the text and content from that heavily defeated in the commons, twice over the past two weeks.
However, judging from the reaction in the media and from some MP's, we could be excused from thinking that some seismic event had shaken the very foundations of British democracy and that Speaker Bercow had taken sides in the Brexit argument and ruled from spite and anti government position and has mischievously created a crisis. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hysterical ranting of the Telegraph, Mail, Express, Times and others clearly demonstrate which part of the Brexit debate they support as once again a "Fee Press" can quite blatantly distort, exaggerate and lie to endorse their position.
No "Third meaningful vote" |
The MP's howling their displeasure at the Speaker for daring to challenge the "authority" of the Prime Minister, are simply lemmings following the "leader" who has recently been getting away with abuses of her position in her maniacal pursuit of her "My deal or No deal", rubbish.
No, whichever side of the fence you are on and whichever way you look at it, Bercow is right and British democracy is has been served well by his ruling.
