The Speaker should resign or be dismissed.
Following The Speaker's comments in the House of Commons it is time he retired. It is difficult for MPs to criticise The Speaker so it is important the public expresses its view.
Comments made by The Speaker about the President of the USA, the UK's most important ally, risked damaging the special relationship.
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:
