Spot the difference

After 134 minutes of debate and diagnosis, the blunt assessment has to be that you would struggle to spot a difference between the candidates. In defence of the Speakers-to-be this is unavoidable given the race for reform that is currently underway in the Houses of Parliament and the country.

All of the candidates are proposing overhauling the expenses system, de-Westminsterising the House of Commons and rebalancing the Executive-Legislature seesaw in favour of the latter.

In this vein, the only discernible difference between the Speakers-to-be, is the rate at which they would enact reform.

Our MPS face an unenviable choice six days from now.
