Vote of no confidence on Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour party
Rejected

What the petition asks
The Labour leader, Mr Jeremy Corbyn, was voted into Parliament as a representative of the people, but is refusing to get involved in the cross party Brexit discussions. As such, we ask that a vote of no confidence be tabled against him for refusing to represent the people.
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.
