Petition · past parliament

After today’s Supreme Court ruling , Boris Johnson must immediately resign.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We live in a democratic country where the rule of law must prevail. Mr Johnson holds the highest office in the executive and should have known that he was acting illegally.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of the Prime Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
