The Speaker is under attack again — maybe it's time for a more independent approach

بلدنا الان

Last update :

House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus appears as a witness at a hearing of the standing committee on procedures and House affairs on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, Dec. 11, 2023.

In the United Kingdom, the Speaker of the House of Commons does not merely remove themselves from their party caucus — they cease all partisan activity. After being appointed to the post, the U.K. Speaker runs as an independent candidate in subsequent elections — and the major parties typically agree to not run candidates against them.
