CBC news reports today that Harvey Hodder has decided to reopen the public galleries based on advice from the police.
He gives no idea of what has changed to give him comfort he can open the galleries without disruption.
It was long ago obvious that Hodder is the most inept Speaker to occupy the chair in decades.
His flip-flops over the past couple of weeks and his complete failure to control the legislature or the galleries is further proof of his incompetence.
The government won't toss him out because they like to have a puppet in the chair.
The opposition lacks the power to push him out.
If Hodder had half an ounce of anything, he'd quietly pack it in at the first chance and let someone take over the Speaker's job who has a clue.
As it stands now, the House is reduced to a joke.
Maybe Harvey could try an open mike night somewhere.
