Good for Farage and UKIP,I personally would like to see Farage as speaker himself should he be victorious in the ousting the wringing wet Bercow.
The Telegraph can reveal that Mr Farage will make the announcement that he will stand in Mr Bercow's Buckingham seat at Ukipâs annual conference on Friday.
Mr Farage said: âThis man represents all that is wrong with British politics today. He was embroiled in the expenses saga and he presides over a Parliament that virtually does nothing.
Mr Bercow was a controversial choice for Speaker. He was elected by fellow MPs after Michael Martin was forced to resign over his poor handling of the MPsâ expensesâ scandal.
But Mr Bercow won the position with almost no support from fellow Conservative MPs. Instead, his success was down to the backing of a majority of Labour MPs who were happy for him to take the chair.
They knew he was mistrusted by his own side, including the Tory leadership. Mr Bercow, who was previously considered a right winger, became more liberal-minded and even agreed to conduct a review for Gordon Brown, something that irritated Tory MPs.
