Petition · past parliament

John Bercow must resign for a lack of impartiality on President Trump.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Mr Bercow has again shown a complete lack of judgement in engaging his mouth before the brain has had a chance to warm up. He is trying to sabotage to UK/US relationship which is essential in bringing Europe to the negotiating table during Brexit talks.

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.
