I don't think it's up to me to judge the series of events that may have led the former Speaker to decide to resign. In any event, he reached the conclusion—I believe it was obvious—that he had lost the confidence of the House. Reaching that conclusion must have been a very painful exercise, so I think we can all have some sympathy for him for having had to go through the process.
