Petition · past parliament

I call on Parliament to hold a Vote of No Confidence in the UK Government.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

This Government has misused its powers. It has failed to protect UK manufacturing, focusing instead on Chinese investment. This has culminated in the Tata Steel fiasco which could so easily have been avoided if the UK Government had not blocked EU proposals to introduce appropriate trade tariffs.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

I ask Parliament to debate a vote of no confidence in the current Government.
