What the petition asks
He has abused his position, and he and his wife have brought his Parliamentary Office into ignominious disrepute.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.
