    He probably needed to get home to his wife. John Hume once said to him, "Ian, if the word 'no' were to be removed from the English language, you'd be speechless, wouldn't you!" Paisley replied, "No, I wouldn't!" (ಠ⌣ಠ)

    many of these rules of behavior were made at a time when mps carried swords and sometimes even killed each other. if u look closely at the floor of the chamber u will see a red line in front of both front benches. the space in the middle of these lines is 2 sword lengths and members cannot cross that line. if a member does put his foot over the line the speaker would order them to " toe the line". thats where that phrase was invented.

She took no one’s crap and made sure everyone knew that she was in charge, but always did so in a way that didn’t chafe with the membership.

    My understanding, from reading "Inside the House of Commons," by John Biffen, is that after the Speaker has "named" someone, a vote to exclude is required, but is perfunctory. What is interesting that Paisley apparently has enough support that the House was not willing to give automatic support to the Speaker and thereby force a division. Biffen served as Leader of the House under Thatcher, and it is the Leader of the House who makes the (usually) perfunctory motion to exclude. In his book, he says that he assumed he would have to use the motion against Paisley someday, but he never had to. According to Biffen, the "naming" procedure arose in the 1880's, as a way to deal with disruptions by MPs advocating Irish independence.

    yes, you are correct. Suspension is simply that. Being named involves suspension and loss of pay, 5 days for a first offence. If the speaker names an MP, a vote is then held for the house to decide if they are suspended. If the aye/no is unclear, a division is then held. A more dramatic one happened when John McDonnell was named for wielding the ceremonial mace. The great Sir Alan Hazelhurst was in the chair for that one.

      OK lake, how are you son? You're a Catholic from Dublin, good man, and I take that point you've made there. Considering the way things were in Ireland back then as you say, he is the sort of person you don't need in any era or conflicting situation. That man's a nutter, an absolute raving nutcase with an awful lot of blood on his hands. The kind of person the World can do without son, because he wouldn't make anything better. Still, take it easy.

A Geordie in London would have to speak clearly so would a Cockney in Glasgow and vice versa! Due to this your point is not valid! Snobs assume some sort of moral superiority over others regardless of upbringing or class(which I don't believe in!) Your posts have shown a form of snobbery,inverted or otherwise!

    Another thing learned about the House of Commons, how you can be suspended by a vote from your peers.

The most your MP peers can do in Germany is vote on the parliament floor to suspend your immunity, not to suspend you outright.

      Heath voted aye along with nearly everyone else. On the no side were a few Ulstermen but also the leftwingers Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn, Ken Livingstone and Dennis Skinner, who I imagine had an objection to MPs being prohibited from accusing others of lying rather than much sympathy for Paisley.

      Lytrigian If someone calls for a division then a division has to be called so I would suspect that 90% of the motion to suspend will be followed by a division. In Australia every time someone is named they will always have a division no matter what.
