Petition · past parliament

We demand the resignation of Oliver Letwin.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Oliver Letwin has previously attempted to influence government policy based on racist views he personally holds. As such he should not be allowed to influence policy. Bigotry has no place in government.
For an explanation of what Mr Letwin has said please read the below article.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of an individual Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
