Force Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers to resign.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Theresa Villiers backed Brexit and Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly in favour of staying in the European Union. She hasn't taken any responsibility for the work that need to take place to support the open borders between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement that fosters good relationships between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the open borders for trade and free movement of people are things that people in the two countries rely on. Theresa Villiers put that at risk and now must be replaced by someone who can deal with the consequences responsibly and in the interests of both countries.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Cabinet Ministers to be removed.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
