What the petition asks
I want Parliament to have a vote of no confidence in this government and force them to resign. Because of the backdoor privatisiastion of the NHS. with NHS funds going to agencies which profit from money intended for the NHS. 100,000 or so deaths caused by austerity measures. Tax breaks for the rich
UN website, office of budget responsibility, News programmes
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The resignation of a Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
