Make the next Commons Speaker a Woman
Sign today ([link removed][UNIQID])

Soon John Bercow will step-down from his position as Speaker of the House. The Speaker has a vital role in democracy by maintaining order in the Commons during debates.

In over 600 years Parliament has only ever had one woman Speaker. It’s time for the next.
Agree? Sign our petition now ([link removed][UNIQID])

Having a woman Speaker will:
* Change the face of Parliament
* Show women and girls that politics is for women as well as men
* Send a positive message about women’s empowerment to democracies around the world

There have been 156 male Speakers but only one woman, Betty Boothroyd who was Speaker from 1992-2000. At present our parliamentary democracy is in crisis. We need to reset the face of Parliament and of politics.

Campaign with us to make Parliament work for women. Sign today! ([link removed][UNIQID])
