For interested persons, I include a poll to canvas thoughts on the likely successor to the Speaker's Chair. Whereas Vince Cable is clearly the pre-eminent politician of this time, he ought to be Prime Minister, not Speaker. The fact that he is not even leader of his party speaks volumes. My own view therefore is that Sir George Younger has the gravitas, record and breeding to be the best Speaker for these turbulent times - though Frank Field might just have the style to succeed, another Labour Speaker is unthinkable.
anything but PR, and i say this as a Con who has watched the horror show of the last 12 years. i trust british politics enough to allow a clear mandate to enact change.

i voted other because i don't know any of the other characters well enough to side one way or another.
