Change policy to allow the Petition Committee to debate motions of no confidence

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Recently, The House of Commons Petitions Committee did not debate a vote of no confidence in David Cameron, because the Committee did not have the power to schedule debate on motions of no confidence. We live in a DEMOCRACY and the views of the public should be heard.
This petition calls on the Petitions Committee and the House of Commons to change policy to allow debate regarding motions of no confidence.
