Rejected petition Ask parliament to formally request that John Bercow resign from his position

John Bercow has lost his neutrality as speaker of the house of commons by interfering in government foreign policy.
He did this by saying that he will not allow the president of the United States to address parliament.

This petition was rejected

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:
