To Impeach David Davis , Liam Fox , Boris Johnson & Theresa May

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The British Public have been lied to and deceived in a referendum. The above named MP's have consistently failed in their Duty to be open, honest in their duties and to the British Public. This will bring us to the brink of economical failure and destroy the future prospects of the nation.
David Davis stated on many occasions we would not be leaving the single market or the customs union, as did Boris Johnson & Liam Fox. Theresa May as the Prime Minister is failing to honor the terms of the referendum - although it was not legally binding , once enacted previous statements that led to it should be.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We cannot accept a petition calling for impeachment because this procedure is now considered obsolete. It is not therefore clear what action could be taken on this petition.
