# Talk:Anna Burke

I recognise that the Speaker is meant to discipline all MPs so it doesn't really matter who the Prime Minister is but the Speaker sometimes changes with a new parliamentary term and a new Prime Minister. This precedent is not present on other Speaker Wikipedia pages so I'm not sure whether to update most of them with this detail or remove it entirely from this and any other pages. If I get the approval for adding the Prime Ministers similar to this page should I update the infobox on most former and future speakers with that parliamentary term's Prime Minister(s)?

I don't think the Prime Minister should be included in the Speaker infobox. As you say, the Speaker is technically a quasi-independent role, elected by the House; not appointed or selected by, or subservient to the prime minister of the day. --Canley (talk) 01:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

I've removed the following text from the article. I've left it here in case its removal breaks any named references, and for the benefit of future editors. See the article's history for full attribution.

 This text box doesn't seem directly relevant to the section where it was paced but it might be useful elsewhere. Also, per WP:MOS, we shouldn't use pullquotes in articles.
