Rejected petition Speaker Bercow to apologise or resign.

The speaker must be impartial and as unbiased as possible in his role. Whatever anyone thinks of President Trump, Mr Bercow was out of order when giving his opinion on a possible invitation of President Trump to speak in the House of Commons.

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.
