I am surprised this is a "first" -you would think across the history of pre-party and post party politics and factionalism the numbers would have worked out to make this happen before now.

There is much which could be said about the situation, I'm just more intrigued this hasn't cropped up before. A lot of "firsts" have a "downhill, on a tuesday, with the wind behind them" feel but being the first to be thrown out by a cross party vote against the majority wishes of your own side, so a cross-party decision from a fringe wing willing to do it, thats .. pretty unusual, but surely in times past there were speakers sufficiently divisive people came close?
