Theresa May to step down as Prime Minister immediately

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Theresa May has proven to be a woefully incompetent Prime Minister and under her leadership the country is more divided than ever and our once great nation has become an international laughing stock. She needs to resign with immediate effect.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept petitions about honours and appointments. That includes asking for people to resign or be sacked.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could search for and sign a petition about that:

If you would like a general election, you might like to sign this petition instead:
