Gosh how I envy the Parliamentary tradition of UK! Here in Brazil we have had political crisis in the Senate last year and also in 2007, and we've had each time more or less 3 quarters of struggling while trying to impeach the speakers, and through technicalities, both of them, got away with it!
@ToxicOdiousOne Scotland is represented in the British Parliament. The House of Commons is like the senate. The other body, The House of Lords, is not like either the house of rep or the senate.
@ToxicOdiousOne not easy to say. its the lower house of parliament. but unlike in the US, its the only elected house, whereas the upper house, the house of lords is appointed. The HoC is also sovereign int he UK and is the supreme law making body
The current state of the House of Commons in an absolute shambles; all are seemingly corrupt as each other - party politics has been put on the shelf, with greed taking its place. However, Michael Martin seems more genuine than others and has served parliament admirably, aside of his monetary failings, and it is unfair that he took the majority of the fall.
Because here we dont sue people for no reason. And here the public cant just sue an MP because they fiddled their expences. They will be dealt with by Her Majesty's Judiciary.
tjab180, Mr. Martin has been a politician for thirty years, his service to his party is without question. To criticize him for the expense scandal is ludicrous. Everyone of those who lied stole and cheated about their expenses, should pay it back and still keep their position!!! Fiddling expenses has been going on for centuries. This is nothing new. It's only because reporters cant' get any muck to write about them. Shameful!!!
What about the other speakers in the past? Are they guilty?
Its a joke that the mp's have forced him to resign.
This guy was protecting them from the public eye and that is what the wanted, now the cat is out of the bag they all turn on him..... it really shows how mp's are just blame shifting scum that is ripping us the tax payers off.

Michael Martin is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than this flaky brit could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Martin wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!
I belive she is paying it back, but tax evasion IS a crime that most of us would be VERY HEAVILY FINED for or GO TO PRISON for. But then again....some are more 'equal' than others.
If politicians think that kicking out the Speaker will satisfy the nation, they are so very wrong. MOST MPs must go. BUT NOT BEFORE APPROPRIATE LAWS ARE PUT IN PLACE FOR PROSECUTING THESE THEIVING BASTARDS!
anyone taking bets on who is next? What about that red headed lady, the honorable member that evaded tax by claiming she was selling her main residence, and not her second residence. Over 10k she cheated from the system.
"they should now be held to account by THE PEOPLE and taste the justice they set for us!this is necessary surly,the only way to restore faith in this so called democracy is to get rid of all of them and change system totally,to get rid off corruption ,which they are all clearly guilty of!"
I can not agree more..bring those liars to justice..get back your powers and your freedom People!!
That is not an apology, he said that everyone must share the blame. He personally allowed massive fraud to take place. He is gone and long over due. He is a bumbling, dishonest fool, if you doubt that just look at the expenses he claimed.
Poor old fool gets everything he deserves. When the affairs began this fat Bastard stated I quote 'There willl be reforms for MP expenses in the next 3 years' He fail to recognise thea anger of the public.
I mean its your country, so you will vote how you like, but second only China? You really need that many? Obviously, its more representation, but how much is too much?
When your caught in the act. Get out of office. When your lying out of your teeth. Don't ever run again. When you are a corporate puppet. Hope you die in hell you traitors. The world is awake. We see your bullshit.
Did the Clerk confirm in the affirmative that it was an Early Day Motion or did he confirm it to be a Substantive Motion?
