Call For a Vote of No Confidence in Boris Johnson

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Covid-19 pandemic has truly exposed the incompetence of Boris Johnson and his cabinet.

Whilst other countries are taking measures to protect their citizens, he has shown no leadership nor inspired any notion that the protection of the British public is his highest priority.
Boris Johnson has shown everyone that he is not up to the task as Prime Minister during one of the most difficult and turbulent times this country has ever faced.

He needs to be removed from office and replaced with a leader who can demonstrate a true sense of care, as well as implementing a strategy that serves the safety and well-being of this country - especially as the UK should have an advantage with time, information and resources, all of which the government has disregarded entirely.

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.
