Start a petition to sack john bercow

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

He is nothing but a hypocritical man who has welcomed far worse than donald trump. He should stand down after his statement that the president of the United States isn't welcome at Westminster

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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.

If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:

Petition the House to debate a vote of no confidence in Mr Speaker Bercow.
