A vote of no confidence in John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons.

What the petition asks

This petition is in response to John Bercow's unwanted comments about Donald Trump not being allowed to address the UK parliament. The British people do not wish for Mr Bercow to speak on their behalf. I hereby ask the UK government to consider sacking Mr Bercow for failing to remain neutral.
