Hold a Vote of No Confidence in the Prime Minister

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The handling of Brexit has been a national embarrassment, the Prime Minister has consistently failed to give Parliament a deal they can vote on to deliver Brexit, has taken a 'My Deal or My Deal' approach and refuses to consider any kind of compromise.

It is time to remove her from her position.

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.
