What the petition asks
Many people believe that the gross incompetence of the current govt is crippling the UK on Brexit, NHS, UC and others.
There should be a debate of #NoConfidence in Theresa May and her govt.
There should be a debate of #NoConfidence in Theresa May and her govt.
People are dying because of this govt's actions.
The country is being driven off a cliff by their incompetence on Brexit.
In short, this govt, clinging on to power by fair means or foul, is not fit to govern.

Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or for a vote of no confidence.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
We used to accept petitions that called for a vote of no confidence. However, the Petitions Committee can’t schedule votes of no confidence. This was often frustrating and disappointing for petitioners. Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.
