It is time to hold a vote of no confidence in Her Majesty's government.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The current Prime Minister has been chosen by a tiny portion of the British electorate and is preparing to crash the UK out of the EU without a deal. We need a vote of no confidence so that 'the people' Mr Johnson claims to hold so dearly can decide who they want steering the wheel.

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 Ministers to be sacked or 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.
