There is a reason why it will be the deputy speaker not the speaker but I am not going to try to explain that here!
I didn't mean selected. I just meant tabled.

I'm hearing that the tories have tabled an amendment to limit voting to the over 55's. Not really, but they would if they could get away with it.

Never quite understood the justification for EU nationals being able to vote in local elections but not national.
