I do love that however fucked the situation, the House of Commons always retains its sense of humour; a lesson for us all - one of the aspects of the national character that makes me proudest to call myself British.
active85858585 True lol
My humor would also be increased tenfold, if i was also making one hundred grand a year lol.
maybe thats because they run away with all the fucking money
Ellie L True. But that usually is the nature of humour.
Ellie L I defer to your superior knowledge.
This tradition comes from when the speaker would report on parliamentary meetings to the King and if the king didn't like what they heard the speaker could be executed. So newly elected speakers had to be dragged to the seat in fear of execution and it's carried on this way as tradition for some reason or another.
Wow, I genuinely didn't know that. That's actually a really interesting bit of trivia. Bravo sir
Thank you!
I imagine the reason is since everyone ends up hating the speaker, no one wants to be the speaker, so it's a funny gesture to poke fun at that.
Such a shame Labour couldn't honour their gentlemen's agreement after Boothroyd and have a Conservative speaker but then the left don't believe in such things!
Stephanie Hart so there should always be a Tory speaker? How’s that balanced exactly?
At least someone got a landslide 😂😭
Aakash Vadher LOOOOOOL
Ironically it's only because Westminster is full of lefty antidemocratic pariahs who couldn't manage a knees up in a brewery!
@@Stephanie-ls3sn lefty? You do realise that bercow was a conservative MP, centre-right at best
@@dominictoo4511 😂
@Dominic Too That one didn't age quite so well.
Bercow has crossed the floor.
I like how they can all joke around, it looks like a nice family.
Arrogant Tuber gets pretty rowdy sometimes
A family? More like a school class. And he is the poor teacher.
Arrogant Tuber until you realise these are the people running the country
Arrogant Tuber Haha, it's really not. They all hate eachother and would gladly kill eachother if it were legal.
It's more likely a roasting chamber. And this chamber even better when david cameron was there
Oh my god.. did Theresa may make a joke...?
Flaminia Luck
And a good one at that
Pigs are flying
She said what her writers told her to say. The woman has the emotional and personal range of a teaspoon.
You should try and leave the house for once, Dartanius
Watch PMQs they make a surprising amount of jokes
John Bercow; best speaker to grace the House of Commons, ever.
I liked him but also Betty Boothroyd was a great speaker.
Wonder how long she practiced that line someone else wrote for her whilst running through fields of wheat.
That was some phat bant
This guy is famous now around the world. ORDER!!!!!!
I love how relaxed they all are
So nice to see a good story from the house of commons, John Bercow an amazing speaker and genuinely good person
Damn, the House of Commons(?) is more lively than the U.S.' cemetary known as the House of Representatives. I like it. c:
I quite like you, Jon Berkow! 🇺🇸
that suit looks sharp.
John Bercow is Legend!!!
This video proves the superiority of the parliamentary system opposed to the congressional one
I like Canada being in this way, you can seat near with somebody while discussing important topic for the country.
I think we have the same tradition in the Canadian house of common. The speaker is dragged by the PM and the opposition leader.
It's because they used to HAVE to be dragged in.
As it was thier job to keep the King up to date on parliamentary news
And they occasionally got given an exicution for delivering bad news to a moody King or queen
These people are sitting so close to each other. In America we sit six feet apart.
Is this a government or a roast 😂😂😂
It is the result of a poll for the Speaker of the House of Commons
How do they decide whom to elect?
Who is the lady dragging him?
He certainly would make a great Prime Minister.
I can't remember a speaker of the house later becoming PM, closest was in Canada, when Andrew Scheer won the leadership of the conservative party after they lost government - a parliament where he was speaker. He almost won the general election too.
Man I wish I was that popular
We do it in canada aswell
He needs to come back
I like how Dennis Skinner looks in the other direction, completely uninterested.
It's because he knows Bercow was a red Tory and only in the party because his constituents are staunch Conservative! As much as I can't stand Skinner he is at least one of the very very few politicians left who are honourable (thinly)! After Boothroyd it should have been a Conservative speaker but true to lefty form they disregarded the gentlemen's agreement in taking it in turns regarding the election of the speaker! And electing this pint sized prat just proves it!
This is where the Brits are still invincible!
Gotta love Commonwealth countries. Canada's draggings aren't as funny though
Canada’s draggings are berry wholesome
Bashar in 2000 after being brought out of London to be president of Syria:
What a shambles
Qué dijeron?
a true parliamentarian
I swear if the parliament looks like this in 2017 then kenya has the best parliament
Jog on you silly silly person !!
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHDDDEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH
What about the parliament decorum now?
There isn't any... Too many PR progressives/ populists in politics now so all class, dignity, and clout is gone, a thing of the past! This is where it starts so Kids today grow up in the same manner!
who.were the mp's dragging him?
redhotwill one of them was a labour mp.haha
Eh everyone's having a laugh
Lots of tradition in this block. Corbyn wears a red rose -because he is Labour- because he likes red.
British sarcasm, huh
Do british MP comfortable in their seat??
There are not enough seats for all MPs. Hence some MPs would have to stand when the house is full.
Are all the Mps receiving same wages every week? How much do they make?
£30-50k give or take? (officially, of course)
Peter Evans obviously not. And I revised the figures - it’s £80k.
House Of Commons looks like a lit roast battle
All MPS regardless in Canada and GB working for all the people of their own country !. How about the rest of the commonwealth countries following suit.
I thought Corbyn was supposed to drag him over with May.
So childish
He looks so tired at the end of his tenure
why did they drag him from the conservative benches??
He's not a member of the Government party, so he was sitting on the Opposition's side of the benches and was dragged from there.
@@retchedno, he was sitting on the government side.
Since at that moment he wasn’t speaker, he could join any party again. As soon as he got elected, he then had to give up party affiliation
@@Osindileyo1 OH. I forgot Conservatives are the leader parter in the commons. Yes that makes sense now.
May has really good humour...:)
Now Bercow is resigning 😓
ORDER ORDER ODU ODER
Norman wisdom prat!
0:00 hes kidnapping him
was it buy one get one free on the blue suits, looks like the smurfs are back in fashion
Sale on at Harrods old chap
+dan taylor whish wowcher would keep me upto date,I thought they only had a sale on boxing day
Why has corbyn got such a big flower on his coat is he waiting for his funeral
Chidish
Who's the sexy lady?!
That's Thereza May, UK's current Prime Minister.
The one shaped like a vase?
I guess he meant the honorable lady at 0:06. I would like to drink a cup of tea with her as well.
He will go down in history as a complete nightmare of a speaker
They are politicians not children no wonder our country is fucked with people like that in charge
Next he will be walking voluntarily to the seat of the chair of the EU parliament.
That's a bit of a self deprecating joke. It sort of makes her seem a bit non serious but I'd still rather have her than have Corbyn
Labour 🤢
God bless you Mr Bercow hope you will help the fight agaist racism agaist romanians and Romania the country off you parents
Now that's something that should be changed; Regardless of the role whether it be Councillor, civil servant in your local parish, and especially an MP they should be at least 4th generation born British! Not some carpet bagger and parthemnew europeansant in a saville row suit!
Imagine Corbyn as PM, we're all very doomed
He only got the job because he is a weasel...! It's how lefty's roll!
Cheap of Corbyn to use his congratulation speech to make jibes
They should have left him seating, the worst speaker in my lifetime
