Give a vote of no confidence in MPs; how they’re behaving with Brexit
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
We are sick & tired of MPs following their own career agenda, it’s time to show them that they need to follow their constituent’s wishes in parliament, not their own.
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 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.
