British politician Lindsay Hoyle has become the new chairman of the British Parliament, replacing John Bercow.
According to British media, the veteran Labus lawmaker was elected by MPs Monday, just two days before Parliament is decided to disperse ahead of general elections next month.
“This house will change, but it will change for the better”, Hoyle promised after his election.
He said he hoped parliament would again be a highly respected “home, not only here, but throughout the world”.
In his acceptance speech, Hoyle also cost his late daughter Natalie Lewis-Hoyle, who died last year at the age of 28.
Hoyle served as deputy chairman for the past nine years and beat seven other candidates to achieve his new post.
In line with tradition, Hoyle physically withdrew to the speaker's chair by other lawmakers after the vote.
Tradition dates back to the darkest ages of British politics, when the speaker acted as a <x0v.> warning” between Parliament and the monarch.
At that time, the role carries its own risks, since the speaker often paid the price for sending a message that the monarch did not like.
The seven speakers were executed between 1394 and 1535 B.C., which led to some reluctance among lawmakers to take office.
