Stop Michael Gove from becoming Prime Minister
Rejected

What the petition asks
Michael Gove lost control of Education and now he wants to be let loose on the entire country. This will be disastrous. We need to speak up now.
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.
