Petition · past parliament

Call a vote of no confidence in Theresa May and call a general election

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

After the genera election, the government unfairly gave the DUP extra funding for Northern Ireland in order to secure their votes; effecrively a bribe. This cash was not met by an increase in funding to the other home nations proportional to the money made available to the DUP.
The government should be forced to put this deal to the people via a general election.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a general election within the next 3 months.
