Rejected petition John Bercow to resign

It is not appropriate for the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, to use his position to voice his personal
opinions on Donald Trump on behalf of the British public. I am incensed that he should use this privileged platform to do so when many do not agree with him.

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:
