Vote England RFU manager Eddie Jones as Prime Minister as he knows how to win
Rejected

What the petition asks
Our entire political leadership has proven itself incompetent during the Brexit debacle. Eddie Jones could lead a sated horse to water and convince it drink 'till it drowned. We should bypass our normal democratic process and hold a Yes/No vote for Eddie Jones to become Prime Minister.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
In any case, as you might already know, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
