Rejected

What the petition asks
John Bercow has repeatedly displayed his lack of political neutrality, has deliberately attempted to hinder relations between the U.K. and the U.S. and must step down from the position of Speaker of the House of Commons.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The resignation of the Speaker is a personal decision for the Speaker, and is therefore not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
