Out of curiosity how did you choose what order they're listed in here?

The Beeb lists them in order of speech-giving here.

That's 'will be' rather than 'should be', yes?

[link] [reply]

Indeed.

wouldnt 'should be' made a more interesting poll to compare with the final result?

[link] [parent] [reply]

i voted that it 'will be' margaret beckett, but i think it should be anne widdecombe

[link] [reply]

Ditto.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Same :)

How big is the Dhanda?

I don't know how to judge which way it will go, but I fear that the next speaker will turn out to be another lying toad.

amazing, john bercow, who flipped his second home and claimed the maximun second home allowances is now the speaker with a grace and favour residence, how else can parliament reform itself?

[link] [reply]

this is an outrageous result, i really have lost faith in westminster.......

there is a long rant on my lj.

I was particularly impressed by Michael Lord's polling of 9 votes in the first round. Bearing in mind that he must have gathered 12 signatures to stand in the first place.
