Does the Commons Speaker lose office when Parliament is dissolved?
Like every other MP, the Speaker must stand again for re-election in his or her constituency at a general election. Usually a serving Speaker will not be opposed by candidates from the other main political parties in his or her constituency. When MPs return in the new Parliament they usually choose to reappoint the previous Speaker, but may decide to elect a different MP to the role.
