Make it a National Democratic ballot box vote to Select the next Prime Minister

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We live in a Democratic Society and therefore UK Citizens should decide who it is that represents them, not only at Home but abroad, globally and internationally.
It’s of National interest that the people have their say and would show support for whom ever is selected and has the people’s backing
Especially in this current National and political crisis, the people need to be assured that their voices matter and they will be heard

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

In particular, we're not sure whether you want a new type of electoral process for selecting the Prime Minister, or a general election. We're also not sure whether you want this to apply only to the selection of the next Prime Minister or for all future Prime Ministers.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
