Petition To Remove the Incumbent Speaker of the House of Commons
This petition seeks to begin a process by the electorate and its representatives in the House of Commons to remove the existing incumbent to the role of Speaker due to repeated failure to maintain political neutrality and also self aggrandisement in the form of abuse of taxpayer- funded expenditure
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:
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:
