Conclusion

Favour ruling party - several anti defection cases rendered by SC. Way Forward - Reforms: (1) Ensure Independence - e.g. In Britain, after being elected speaker, resign from party. In India, N. Sanjiva Reddy resigned - should be encouraged (2) Models - G V Mavalankar = 1st Speaker noted 'once speaker, rise above party & politics, Speaker for all'. Speaker is the head of legislative organ & guarantee of Democracy in law forming & Nation. He must be independent & strengthened beyond party politics.
