I support Ann Widdecombe for Commons Speaker

Not that I get a say, but I feel Ann Widdecombe would be the best choice for Commons Speaker.

She's articulate, independent and doesn't stand for nonsense. She also has a respect for Parliamentry tradition and, to the best of my knowledge, didn't make dodgy expense claims.

Having someone like Margaret Beckett or John Bercow as speaker would be an insult to what is left of British democracy.

Iain Dale believes Sir Alan Haselhurst will be the next speaker. I have no view myself as of the frontrunner, but I do hope Ann Widdecome wins.

We'll find out after the June 22 vote!
