Petition for John Bercow to receive a knighthood

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Conservative government have made the shocking decision to refuse to honour the Speaker of the House. John Bercow has been a stalwart defender of democracy against an actively aggressive anti parliamentary government. His eloquence and diligence deserve an honour.

Why it was rejected

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