No confidence in the government For mishandling the coronavirus outbreak.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Due to the mishandling and dubious ethics shown by the government there should be a confidence vote.
I want the government to be forced to resign and trigger a general election.
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.
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.
