The Speaker, John Bercow MP, has to resign after the public have lost confidence
John Bercow MP has pronounced a personal view on a political matter (the invitation of a democratically elected Head of State to address the UK Parliament) from the chair of the House of Commons. This is an absolute rejection of his independent role in the office. He is no longer fit to be Speaker.
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:
