Petition for the resignation of the Speaker of the House.
Following Speaker Bercow's intervention in addressing Parliament today. As William Lenthall famously told Charles I, the Speaker of the Commons has ‘neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as this house is pleased to direct me’.
We, therefore, petition for his resignation
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
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:
