Consider a motion of no confidence in Her Majesty's Government

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Our government asked British citizens to decide whether to remain as part of the EU. Given the complex nature of this decision, a mere 4 months was inadequate to allow for our population to equip themselves with the information and knowledge necessary to make an informed decision.
The information provided by our government was inadequate and poorly communicated.

We want either a motion of no confidence passed in Her Majesty's Government or
a motion for a general election.

Why it was rejected

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

Call a snap general election now that the UK have voted to leave the EU
