Milliken is a well respected member of parliament. You don't get the to be the longest-serving Speaker of the House ever, and only the second to come from an opposition party, if your colleagues don't think you're a fair arbiter.
Honestly, if your best defense of the conservatives is an ad hominem attack on Milliken... well, frankly, I'd have expected you to do better.

Possibly, because they claim not to be. Or because there's more than one level of partisan shrewness.
