Bercow watch: Do you think Vale MP should be Speaker?
A NEW poll has been started by The Bucks Herald to ask if people believe MP John Bercow should become Speaker of the House of Commons.
The vote comes after more than 85 per cent of internet voters said Michael Martin MP was right to stand down over the MPs' expenses scandal.
Mr Bercow is still 3/1 favourite for the job but some of his constituents have written that they do not want him to be the Speaker.
One of his constituents, Simon Icke, from Aston Clinton, has called on the MP to release a breakdown of his expenses.
He said that constituents want to know how much profit he made on second home sales.
Mr Icke added: "They also would like to know the detailed breakdown of the 20,000 plus expenses Mr Bercow claimed each year for the last four years.
"This information is essential for the electorate to know in the Buckingham constituency for them to make an informed decision before considering to vote for Mr Bercow at the next general election and also for his fellow MPs to know in the House of Commons, especially as Mr Bercow has aspirations to become the next Speaker."
