Rejected

What the petition asks
Following the admission of almost every conservative leader candidate that they they have taken illegal drugs at some point, we the people demand that the persons potentially leading our country through this Brexit crisis should be tested for drug abuse before being given the roll of prime minister.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for party leadership elections.
