Remove biased Mr John Bercow speaker of the house for ignoring the 17.4m voters

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Remove John Bercow speaker of the house due to his continued biased behaviour regarding Brexit.
17.4 million voted leave the EU in 2016.
Mr Bercow is totally ignoring the peoples wishes and constantly leaning towards the left and failing to remain neutral in his position as speaker of the house.
He has chosen four options today 1st of April 2018 and none of which were leave the EU as per the 2016 referendum winning leave vote.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

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.
