Consider a vote of no confidence on this conservative government

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition is for a vote of no confidence in this government. I believe that this government is damaging our future prospects as a country and as the populace. We need to acknowledge the damage they have already done to our country and it’s stability. We are not strong and stable.

The OBR have revised down our economic growth, they predict a growth in housing costs and even say our deficit as a country will not be cleared until 2031. Our NHS is under increasing pressure and our health secretary Jeremy Hunt is deciding whether or not to cut wages for staff working anti-social hours. For a country that can find £1bn to keep itself afloat, £10bn training foreign troops and a Brexit bill that may reach £50bn you might think they could afford to increase NHS salaries, but no!

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.
