That John Simon Bercow MP be removed as Speaker of the House of Commons.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

That John Simon Bercow MP either stand down voluntarily or be removed as Speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom as he has proven he is no longer unbiased and abuses his position.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

The resignation of an MP, including the Speaker, would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
