Rejected petition Demand John Bercow's resignation
John Bercow has stated that he is 'strongly opposed' to Donald Trump being able to make an address in Westminster Hall. The Speaker is meant to retain neutrality but has shown that he has his own political and personal motives behind this statement and confidence in him as a Speaker has gone.

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.
