To: John Bercow - Speaker of the House of Commons

Stop MPs Fillibustering!

We want John Bercow to act more aggressively to prevent further instances of "Fillibustering" - where an MP speaks for so long that Parliamentary debates cannot take place. This is undemocratic, and an insult to the demoracy on which Britain prides itself.

Why is this important?

There have been THREE occasions when MPs in the House of Commons have "Fillibustered". Hospital car parking charges for carers, inhumane treatment by private landlords towards their tenants, and now First Aid Training for children in schools are all issues that have recently been "Fillibustered" in Parliament recently.

THIS MUST CEASE! It is NOT what our MPs were elected to do!
