MODERATORS
When a new speaker of the house is selected, why must their first act be to physically feign terror and be dragged to the front of the house of commons by their colleagues?
Stupid traditions mainly, answer for like 70% of things
Because the Speaker ultimately gatekeeps what is debated, and many Soeakers lost their heads when Kings decided the Commons was getting a bit too full of itself.
It's a nod to history and the speaker who had to defy the king.
Is this for real??
