What the petition asks
The British Public have lost faith in the politicians on all sides of the political spectrum.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
