Petition · past parliament

The Prime Minister, Theresa May, should resign and a general election be called

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The Fix Term Parliament Act and the negotiations with the EU have resulted in an impasse in the executive and parliament. The way to avoid a deepening constitutional crisis is a general election.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions calling for someone to be given or lose their job. This would be a personal decision for the Prime Minister.
