Petition · past parliament

Hold a vote of no confidence for the current government.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I want a vote of no confidence to (hopefully) remove the Tory party and trigger a general election.
I, and the majority of people I know, have no faith in the current government. I imagine other people feel similarly and want to change the system.

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.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a General Election instead: Call a Covid-19 General Election
