Mr Chatergee has given the cause for not resinig that he does not want to vote against the rulling party along with a party like BJP. It shows that after becoming the speaker also he is still partial and does not like BJP. He also has so much attachment for the speakers chair that he fear to loose the respect he got as speaker. Another point is that he does not want to miss the foreign tour of speakers conference. It shows his attachment for the chair. A good politician is he, who follow the party line. If at any time he has difference with the ideology of the party it is better he should atonce resign from his present sit, which he won in the said party ticket and seek for his popularity by fresh vote. By stick to the chair he shows that he does not have respect for parliamentary politics. I feel asamed for his mode of functioning.
whatsoever be the kind of politics, but by not resigning, his stature has definitely increased in the eye of general public not affiliated to any politics. he is a very good Lok Sabha Speaker. he could manage the floor very successfully. as a person, we love him.

He is no longer a consensus speaker. The parliament should elect another speaker unanimouly.

If that be so, let some party move a 'No Confidence Motion' against him.
Nobody will do that. They are aware that the 'Indians' admire and respect the man. Just before the elections, nobody body will risk the ire of the voters.
If nobody moves a No Confidence Motion, he evidently enjoys the confidence of all.

if he is not a good speaker, appoint a singer instead of speaker and a dancer for temporory breaks. After all ours is a so called democracy u see.
What would he say ? "I betrayed my party for POWER" ??? He was made a speaker because CPM was supporting UPA. As long as he is a speaker, he should be independent. Agreed. But when his party has withdrawn support to UPA, he has moral right to quit the job. Instead of that he simply raised anti-BJP sentiments and defied party. He is a typical example of how power hungry humans are.
