The Speaker of the House of Commons is removed from Political allegiance: In the General Election it is considered correct to elect the Speaker unopposed. (Although I seem to remember someone stood in opposition to Betty Boothroyd a few years ago). Both Betty Boothroyd & the present incumbent, Michael Martin (Watch this space !) are from the Labour Party.

No. The speaker of the house is appointed by the majority party in the House, and has always been a member of that party. The speaker can be anyone, even if they are not a member of the House. (barring a breach of balance of powers; i.e. a Governor could not also be the speaker).
For the 112th Congress (2011-2012), the Speaker of the US House is John Boehner, a Republican representative from Ohio.
The Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the House of Representatives. Before the vote each party chooses their candidate. The majority party's candidate will then win the election (assuming his or her party's representatives vote according to the party's decision).
