Question

the speaker's chair in the house of commons is large and imposing, much like a throne. Why might this be the case?

I think just to show authority, do you know why?

Answer 1

Isn't the speaker of the House of Commons almost as important as the queen and the prime minister?

Answer 2

oh yes of course. so the speaker of the house of commons holds the same position as a prime minister and queen on its throne.

is this correct

Answer 3

Well -- I'm not sure he's just as important as the queen and p.m. -- but he is probably third in importance -- and deserves a throne-like chair.

Answer 4

thanks:-)

Answer 5

oh, but why is it important that the speaker be impartial?

Answer 6

Since the speaker is conducting the meeting in the House of Commons, he needs to be impartial to make sure that all view points can be expressed.

Answer 7

oh yes u r right:-)
