Make John Bercow a Member of the House of Lords
Rejected

What the petition asks
It is tradition for retiring Speakers to receive a peerage. It appears that John Bercow is being victimised by the Conservative Government, since he didn't kowtow to their demands.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
