What the petition asks
Under the Fixed-Term Parliaments act, early general elections may only be called if the Commons votes on the following motion:
“That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty’s Government.”
“That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty’s Government.”
We call on you as leader of the largest party in opposition, Mr Corbyn, to push for this motion to be considered in the House of Commons.
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.
You may wish to sign this petition instead:
