Michael Martin Must be Replaced

An incredible report in the Daily Telegraph reports that Commons Speaker Martin is to attempt to block the judicial review of the decision by the Commons not to offer the public a referendum on the EU Constitutional Treaty in spite of all three main parties having promised exactly that prior to thge last General Election. The report is here. I was planning to blog this morning on the fact that to my mind it should be the Speaker's Office that should be ensuring that the Party Leaders honour their manifesto commitments rather than the courts, now comes this incredible news, while still waiting to hear if Martin will appeal against the ruling on the expenses scam, due today! Yesterday in moving the First Amendment on the Frankenstein Embryo bill, Edward Leigh, MP, referred to the Deputy Speaker as Deputy Leader. This mistaken address should perhaps now have some effect. The people of England require somebody (anybody) in their Parliament to call a halt to the corruption and dishonesty now apparently in full control of the Commons. If the Deputy Speaker cannot act, then perhaps the father of the House or the formidable Frank Field, MP, should step forward! If Lisbon is ratified and the formidable charge of already prepared and waiting laws and regulations is set in train (read this today, here, in The Times on Big Brother) then the reported recent flight of two million Briton's, read here, will be a mere trickle compared with the flood to come.
