Stop Leadership Ballot until after Brexit

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Having a leadership ballot before Brexit is only going to throw the country into more turmoil.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because it's not something the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for. This would be the responsibility of the Conservative Party. In any case, the ballot has already taken place.
