Rejected petition Make the speaker of the house of commons give up his seat in parliament

The constituents of Buckingham do not have a fair vote in a general election making it undemocratic. None of the 3 main parties oppose the seat meaning we cannot vote on the national interests. In the 2015 general election there was 1,289 spoilt papers in protest of this.
