The Speaker

There are no clear favourites. It could be interesting. Richard Shepherd looks an interesting choice, but Bercow has relative youth on his side. Most likely - Sir George Young, as a bit of stop gap.

But first we have the by-election. I still think Labour "hold" it. I think the SNP are has beens. Glenrothes - I was right.

Had a lady stop me today and hand me a leaflet. She urged me to vote for any political party other than the BNP. unfortunately suggests they must be gaining popularity in SE London...

Best wishes as a passionate Liberal Democrat (Liberal really) with an occasional interest in Red Kites.

Wish I knew you better. Will raise a glass to you next time I am in Weatherspooons! Cheers.

Like Icarus, best wishes, but unlike him from the passional blue side of politics.

Through the ether of blogs your convictions and fairness, friendliness and polite arguments have shone through. Cheers.
