To hold a public referendum on confidence in Her Majesty’s Government

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To hold a referendum as soon as possible which allows the general public to indicate whether Her Majesty’s Government retains their confidence or not, in light of its handling of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In light of the Coronavirus outbreak, many of the issues that the British public voted on in December 2019 have been sidelined. Given the severity and nature of the crisis Britain has faced and continues to face, the public must be allowed to indicate whether Her Majesty’s Government continues to retain their confidence in handling the pandemic and other national issues. The people have been asked to make many sacrifices over the course of this year: it is only fair the Government do the same.

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 in the Government.

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.
