Dismissal of Theresa May as Prime Minster appoint Kenneth Clark Prime Minster

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

We call for the dismissal of Theresa May as Prime Minster for unnecessarily spending public money on ligation and risking the break up of the United Kingdom and call for the appointment of Kenneth Clark as Prime Minster to form an interim coalition Government

Scotland voted against Brexit and by pushing forward with Brexit the Prime Minster risks Scotland leaving the United Kingdom and the loss of the United Kingdom permanent seat on the Security Council of the United Nations

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:
