Theresa May Must Resign and Call a General Election.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Theresa May's government has conducted Airstrikes in Syria without the Strict Approval of Parliament. This is in contempt of Parliament and convention. Theresa May Must resign and a General Election Must be called.

Why it was rejected

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

The resignation of an MP or Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

If you'd like there to be an election within the next 3 months, you may wish to sign this petition:

Hold a general election within the next 3 months.
