Call a vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson's Goverment
Rejected

What the petition asks
Let the people decide Boris Johnson cannot get away with shutting down Parliament to push an agenda the people did not vote for. Boris Johnson is trying to keep people quiet, but we say 'NO'. We must let the people speak. It is time for a new Government.
GENRAL ELECTION NOW!

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, including the Prime Minister, 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.
