Another disappointing Speaker?

I have heard parts of the hustings of candidates for the office of Speaker, and read much.

I was not greatly impressed. Too many of them although speaking about reform, seemed to want to minimise it, and were looking for a way to preserve MPs comfort rather than offering themselves as a leader of parliamentary debate and checking the power of the government

I can see what Douglas Carswell on his blog asked, "Are they choosing a shop steward for MPs or a Speaker for the country's legislature. All the questions were about recess, length of holiday, sympathy on expenses and the allocation of offices and creches."

What hope do we have? Please reconsider, Frank Field, and let your name go forward, to prevent us becoming even more disillusioned with parliament!
