    Why don’t they just do preferential voting?

    You would have the results straight away ???

    After hearing Lindsay Hoyle speak I was like “aha, they picked right.”

    For whatever reason, I just assumed that Lindsay Hoyle was a Conservative, until I watched this video. Because in New Zealand, the Speaker has almost without exception been from the governing party. How about that, I guess you learn something new every day.

    Bring back Bercow.

    Why don't they use instant runoff to vote? This multi round thing is so time consuming.

    4:02 omg Ed miliband is still a member of Parliament? Can you not get a job in the private sector? This is why we support term limits so we won't see guys like him no more in the USA.

    I think a ballot is secret by definition.

    What is meant by back bencher? (A curious American)
    And why did a labour party member win when the Tories have a huge majority?
    In the United States there is no way the majority would vote in a minority Speaker.

    The man has real presence and charisma.

    Lindsay Hoyle has a bit of a Bercow look

  21. @fmitchell238a

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    Nearly all the Speaker candidates' speeches mentioned "impartiality"; a few mentioned subsuming their personalities or being quiet. Were they throwing shade at Bercow? The British language is so subtle.

  22. @hkmarhk

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    In Canada, the newly elected speaker is dragged to the seat by the PM and the opposition leader.

  23. @tannewton

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    His name is Sir Lindsay Hoyle? Isn't Lindsay a female name (like Lindsey Lohan)?

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    The election was rigged. All part of the Welsh conspiracy to instill a new world order.

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    Ahhhhhh maaaaaan!!! I liked the old guy! I l loved the way he said "order"!!! Who the fuck is this new guy?!? Does he even know what the word "order" means?!? Has he even heard the word before?!? I am very concerned about this new speaker.

    Great job summarising this process.

    It is very refreshing to see the UK House behaving o presentable given the mess that I've been following for the past few years.

  33. @alicebaggio

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    I keep wondering, why do all MPs wear this little red flower on their lapels and collars?

  34. @koboldprime2257

    Oh great, they elected the British Goofy… lame

  35. @KathyClysm

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    can i just say that the election for speaker is significantly more democratic then any other election in the UK?

  36. @flyingfiddler90q

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    So now that Lindsay Hoyle is speaker, does that mean parliamentary business will now be conducted "according to Hoyle"? 😆

  37. @WTF3585

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    new speaker can't even speak english, sad times

  38. @doraemon402

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    you did not show Bryant's speech and some extra trivia, Dennis Skinner has served as MP since the exact same day as Clarke but Clarke's oath of office took place before Skinner's.

  39. @doraemon402

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    "Is the honourable gentleman questioning me?" is what made Hoyle popular

  40. @naveenagarwal2665

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    I don't understand this..the house of commons will be re-elected in next month's election so why are they electing a permanent speaker now.. nobody knows if he will be re-elected next month or not..
    What am i missing?

  41. @jonasskttergaardnikolajsen3316

    What is the red flower most of the members of parlements is wearing?

  42. @FlorinBuga

    Great job! This is my best source of news on UK politics.

  43. @Will-pz6vw

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    Does that mean Hoyle holds the Buckingham seat like Bercow did previously or does he remain in his seat?

  44. @tfive24

    January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am

    It's like voting for the pope
