No strong feelings about any of the candidates on our part - although tory back-bencher Sir George Young could be fun. The member for North West Hampshire achieved some notoriety as a junior housing minister in the Thatcher government when he once described London's street homeless as "the people you have to step over when leaving the opera".He also publishes a half-way decent blog. Some of the posts, if he actually got the job, would be fascinating with entries like "Tuesday - Told Gordon to shut up, sit down and get on with his work".
Update: Ah well, George didn't get the job. But it was significant that new Speaker John Bercow paid tribute to Swansea West MP Alan Williams who, in his capacity as Father of the House, conducted the election. We hope the Evening Post was listening.
