Rejected petition Remove John Bercow from his position as speaker.

John Bercow is an incompetent speaker. He fails to keep order, especially during PMQs when he fails to address the issue of heckling from Conservative MPs when Mr Corbyn is trying to speak. We need a speaker who is fair to both sides, and stops MPs behaving like primary school children.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.

The House of Commons could debate the resignation of the Speaker.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
