Rejected

What the petition asks
Theresa May has made a unilateral decision, without the democratic approval of parliament, to begin a bombing campaign against Syria. This is just the latest in a long line of subversive actions that contradict the political will of the the electorate and best interests of the country.
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.
You may wish to sign this petition instead:
Take no military action in Syria using UK forces or weapons.
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.
