What the petition asks
After today's outburst in Parliament by the Speaker Bercow, I would like to hear his apology and his acceptance into inviting President Trump to Parliament where he can speak freely and openly.
Like it or not President Trump is the President of the USA and we need to respect this! No matter what our personal views are we should be professional and not air them in Parliament. I feel that the Speaker has overstepped his mark which could lead to a trade War with America! Politics and Personals should be kept apart.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
A decision to apologise would be the responsibility of the Speaker, and not of the Government or the House of Commons as a whole.
