The PE view is one view

but there are others.

The Tories hate Bercow because he's not acted as a Tory stooge while speaker.

Is he perfect? Absolutely not. But I think he is an honest man, if afflicted by a tendency to self-aggrandise.

He's about as politically neutral as Speakers get, and while I am happy to criticise him on this or that over gin, I'm not sure we've had a better Speaker since Weatherill.
