This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Request the immediate resignation of John Bercow Speaker of the House of Commons
Rejected on
The job of the Speaker of the House of Commons, is that of facilitator. John Bercow has overstepped his position and should be forced to resign. No Speaker of the House of Commons should be giving political opinion. He is single handedly jeopardising our relationship with the United States.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The resignation of the Speaker is a personal decision for the Speaker, and is therefore not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
