Closed 413 signatures

What the petition asks

Speaker Bercow has regularly shown bias which is incompatible with his position.
Twice in two weeks he has prevented the Prime Minister from finishing an answer to a question. On October 21st 2015 he prevented an MP from asking a question at PMQs on the basis that it was "a waste of time" indicating that he believes that it is his role to determine which questions are asked and which should not be.
