Who is the Speaker of the House of Commons?

The Speaker of the House of Commons is John Bercow, the Conservative MP for Buckingham. So who represents Buckingham in Parliament? No one. What can the residents of Buckingham do about it? Nothing. Really? Yes. What? I know, right!

*"Too bloody right!"*
_- passer by -_

[jobbusscher]

I totally lost it when the passer-by said ''too bloody right'', your videos are so entertaining, glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Mr Bercow once came to watch my Buckinghamshire village's bi-annual amateur dramatics production, I was one of the foyer staff and during the interval he bought some raffle tickets from me. He was a very well spoken and lovely man who genuinely seemed to be enjoying the evening. He also visited my school a few times (twice while I was there) when he was the Speaker. A seemingly increasingly rare example of a respectable Tory MP.

People usually get very shitty when people put ads in their videos but honestly if it means more of these videos I'm glad he's getting sponsorships.

[adammullarkey]

He's not saying "order, " he just wants some hors d'ouvres.

“when john bercow retires” boi do i have news for you in 2019

He is mostly unbiased, as much as he can be. He was a conservative but my local MP who's conservative also said to me that a lot of his colleagues don't like him so his ties to the party are mostly dead. My local MP can't stand him too, I love Bercow though.He's hilarious in my opinion and he happens to be a well-spoken fellow. He brightens the commons. He's the biggest reason why I watch the full PMQs on a Wednesday. Also he only represents Buckingham on local issues. He was against HS2 and he was in a committee and he represented the people of Buckingham because the line was going to severely effect some of the villages. Sadly they didn't listen to him.

As a resident of Buckingham, can confirm its a flipping nightmare. But Bercow actually served his people quite well (I had pals having issues with visas for a multinational family, and knew some wronged old people he helped get justice). Very good to hear you pronouncing 'Farage' correctly. My Dad's friend (a scholar and socialist living in Winslow) was once stopped by Sky News for a tasty soundbite on Farages local campaigning, and he stopped the reporter half way through his sentence saying 'Look, MATE, I know I present as Tory, but those of us from the wrong side of the tracks call a garage a garage.'

I miss my hometown.

Clearly the best part about being Speaker is the coat of arms designing.
Sorry, i'm a heraldry nerd

“Throws members out if they break the rules”
*dennis skinner walks out*
100% accurate

I encourage you all to pause the video at 1:12 and take good look at all the speaker-info. Worth it

Every you tuber who does a plug for a sponsor at the end of their video should sing it. I actually listened to the whole thing.

[AbsolXGuardian]

1:04 That's John Bercow's, yes the Conservative, coat of arms. Before becoming speaker, he was part of the Tory Reform Group, which just sounds like liberalism with extra steps. He's long fought for queer rights, hence why that's on his coat of arms. The ladder represents how he was born the son of a taxi driver, and the social climbing he had to do to get to be speaker.

I was just thinking about this series earlier today! Love this series, love the informativeness, love the style, love the genuine passer-by, love the zebra ad warning, love the ad, and most of all, I love you.

[_EFFESSE]

Hello! I would like to see a comeback of Map Men and London Unfinished. is that possible? just a suggestion! :)

[Cpr]

Fun fact: The last order at 0:21 came from where Dennis Skinner called David Cameron 'dodgy Dave'

[jms]

I am a non english speaker from Chile, watching this in 2019 and i still love your videos, because you are very funny explaining, thank you very much :)

[adambell]

I would like that audible advert on iTunes, please

In 1966 the people of Ceredigion voted out their MP, who became deputy speaker the year before, precisely because of the lack of representation. Some constituencies do vote out the speaker, or in Ceredigion's case, the deputy speaker.
