This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly how you'd like to see the role of the Speaker change.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
