Call for the resignation of John Bercow House of Commons speaker
Mr.Bercow should resign or be sacked as the House of commons speaker as he has gone against the impartiality that the position of speaker of the house requires.
His remarks in parliament today stating that he does not wish the Democratically elected President of the United States to give an address to parliament goes against the ethos of our our democracy and free speech for all. Wether we agree with Mr Trump or not he should be allowed to address parliament as we are supposed to advocate free speech in the United Kingdom. Mr Bercow's remarks breech his impartiality so he should resign forthwith or be sacked as speaker.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The resignation of the Speaker is a personal decision for the Speaker, and is therefore not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
