Jeremy corbyn for prime minister.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As i grew up my mum was on benefits trying hard to find a job whilst on about £300 every 2 weeks which was just enough for food, bills and even treats (clothes etc.) ever since conservatives have been in charge, its always has been a struggle. I have not had a decent meal since. Poverty is at a rise
This is just me though i cant imagine what its like for the other people on benefits in britain. Since all the cuts have happened my mum is now on about £60 for every two weeks. Is that really enough to fill our cupboards and fridge freezers? Is it enough to pay off the rent knowing thats 27 a week? Also with other bills gas, electricity? Its completely sick what theresa may and david cameron have yet what ever happened to “we are all in this together”

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

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:
