Make John Bercow a Member of the House of Lords

Rejected 21 signatures

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.
