Rejected petition Commons speaker must resign immediately.

We would like the speaker of the house of commons (John Bercow) to resign or be removed as speaker over his biased and inappropriate comments on democratically elected United States president and his views on Britain leaving the European Union.

More details

Whatever your views on the above two subjects the Speaker must remain neutral, he has failed. His comments have completely overstepped the mark.

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:
