Give the people the right to remove an 'unfit for office' Prime Minister.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As the public clearly want to see change to the political system,let us create a process to give the people the chance to challenge whether a prime minister is fit for office. A Prime Minister with no mandate must be avoided, MPs show allegiance based on their chances of receiving a role in cabinet.

It will not be a simple process granted but if we all know someone is unfit, and MPs know someone is unfit yet they support them anyway this is wrong and if they can't say it, we must.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what you would like to happen.

At present the Prime Minister is appointed by the Queen. You might like to sign this petition if you would like them to be directly elected instead:

Change the way the prime minister is elected to a general vote
