In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

Well that's ironic.

(No comment)

then why is he called speaker anyway?!

Like during hearings, or in general? Either way, I find it wierd

*Laughs Out Loud*

i think its stupid

As far as I am aware, the Speaker *is* allowed to speak. However, they are not allowed to speak in the sense of voice an opinion. It is their job to control the House and to declare which member of Parliament is to speak next. They can speak in the sense of open their mouth and make sounds that are like words, but not speak as in make statements.

Thats why nothing gets done! lol
