Dismiss John Bercow from his position as Speaker of the House of Commons.

Petition Details

The speaker of the House of Commons is supposed to be politically impartial. Bercow has shown that he has overstepped his authority and he does not represent the people of the UK by vetoing the President of the United States from addressing the UK parliament.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.

If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
