Bercow wins!

Sucks to be the Tories. Looks like Bercow is the new Speaker of the House of Commons. Who'd have thought?
Interestingly, I was at a party until after the results came out, and I heard two very different versions of how Bercow got the votes to win. One (from an irate Tory) was that Labour had whipped their votes behind Bercow in order to 'stick it' to David Cameron (on the premise that a Speaker, once chosen, cannot be removed except in truly exception circumstances), so now the Tories will be stuck with a Speaker who they don't particularly like if they win the next election. This particular person was enraged at Labour, claiming it was Labour using their majority (insofar as Labour voted Bercow, and every other party voted for someone else).
Strangely enough, across the floor at the same party, I came across a dejected Liberal Democrat who was deeply depressed at the result for Speaker, and particularly upset because he claimed the Lib Dems had thrown their votes behind Bercow and gotten him over the line.

Obviously with a secret ballot we will never know who voted for whom in the Speakers election. But funny that there should be two people in different parties, both of whom are upset at different people for the same result. Of course, Labour doesn't really care... their candidate (Margaret Beckett) got hammered, so after that is was a pick of two Conservatives...
