The Prime Minister must allow an further Vote of Confidence in her leadership

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It is clear that since the Prime Minister survived a vote of no confidence by the Parliamentary party that she has acted in a high handed manner and broken the promises set out in her manifesto.
The Withdrawal Agreement has been overwhelmingly rejected three times by Parliament. This clearly demonstrates that the Prime Minister's strategy for Brexit does not enjoy the support of the majority either in the House of Commons or her own party.

She must seek approval of her continued leadership and should this vote go against her, she should resign immediately

Why it was rejected

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

This would be the responsibility of the Conservative Party and not the UK Government or Parliament.

In any case, we can't accept petitions that call for people to lose their jobs. This includes petitions calling for votes of no confidence in Ministers or the Prime Minister.
