Just two things, 1) How do the deputy speakers get their positions, are they elected also or chosen? 2) Electioneering has just started and I'm fed up of it already.
The Deputy Speaker and Chair of Ways and Means, and the First and Second Deputy Chairs of Ways and Means since 2010 have been elected similarly to how the Speaker is. However, for instance Speaker Hoyle coming from Labour, the Deputy Speaker must come from the other side of the Commons. In this case, the Conservatives. I could be wrong but just out of prediction and if certain MPs are reelected, I think Dame Eleanor Laing will become Deputy Speaker, Dame Rosie Winterton, the First Deputy, and Sir Edward Leigh, the Second Deputy.

He’s done as an MP. Technically you can’t resign as an MP. You have the ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to appoint you for a sinecure that legally cannot be occupied by an MP. The moment you are nominated you are ipso facto no longer a Member of Parliament.
Why were people talking about restoring pride/honor/prestige/whatever to the House of Commons via the Speaker's position? Did Bercow somehow tarnish that reputation?

Why elect the speaker right before an election? If he doesn't get re-elected then thats a giant waste of parliament time. Why didn't Bercow just stay until the election?
By convention the Speaker severs all ties with his or her political party while in office, as it is considered essential that the Speaker be seen as an impartial presiding officer. By current convention, the speaker's deputies, who also do not vote, consist of one member from the Speaker's former party, and two from the other side of the house. Thus there is no net voting power lost for either the government or the opposition. If the current speaker decides to contest a general election, they do not stand under a party label, but are entitled to describe themselves on the ballot as "The Speaker seeking re-election", under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act. Generally, the major parties do not stand against the speaker.
My understanding is that there is more or less unspoken agreement between Labour and the Tories that the post should alternate between the parties: which explains why two Labour MPs were in the final ballot.

It's the poppy. The British Legion raise money every year for those in the Military Service. It is a poppy to represent flanders' fields in Norther France where so many of our soldiers died in World War. Many public places have a box of poppy pins and a donation box. You put whatever amount you can spare in and take a poppy pin. I think it's rather lovely way of celebrating our fallen.
They should also make the nominees say "order" and pick the best one.

Looking forward to the 'according to Hoyle" jokes...
@TLDR News Cam you make a bio video for Mr. Lindsey Hoyle!
I feel the most crucial test for these MP's to become Speaker is to read a Beatrix Potter/A.A. Milne short story of their choice.
Why don’t they just do preferential voting?
You would have the results straight away ???
New Speaker of the house, Please please please be Jonathan Pie.
If anybody ever wondered what John Oliver would be like as Speaker....well now we know haha
So does that means there is no more Orderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr orderrr order ordered to order !!
What are the red and green pins that everyone is wearing?
It's the poppy. The British Legion raise money every year for those in the Military Service. It is a poppy to represent flanders' fields in Norther France where so many of our soldiers died in World War.
Many public places have a box of poppy pins and a donation box. You put whatever amount you can spare in and take a poppy pin. I think it's rather lovely way of celebrating our fallen.

So for the foreseeable future, Parliament will be run strictly according to Hoyle?
