Speaker Week is coming to PM!
A new Speaker will be elected in the House of Commons on June the 22nd.
It will be a critical moment. Many people, not just in the house of Commons, are looking to the new Speaker to help restore trust in politics and politicians at a time when it's at a low ebb.
What are the ideas that the new speaker should advocate? How should he or she sort out the mess? What inspiration can the new speaker provide to restore trust between the governed and the governors.
Here's where YOU come in.
Of course you don't have a vote when it comes to the new Speaker - that will be down to MPs.
But you can vote on the best ideas.
All next week on PM, we're going to hear from some prominent public figures who'll give us their own manifesto for cleaning up public life. And next Friday all our candidates will take part in a live debate. THEN you can vote by phone for the person and ideas you liked most.
That's Speaker Week, all next week here on PM.
