Vote of no confidence in the conservative government.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It has become clear the Prime Minister and her cabinet are unable to deliver a Brexit deal which will command the confidence of parliaments, devolved and in Westminster. We the undersigned do hereby call on MPs to immediately call for a vote of no confidence in the conservative government.

The prime minister has boxed herself in due to her own red lines, designed to appease her own party factions. She is denying a people's vote on the deal when the fundamental premise of democracy is not just the right to choose, but inherent in that, to change one's mind. She and her government have failed.

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 a vote of no confidence.

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.

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.
Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.
