Require the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak Resign

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The prime minister and the chancellor have shown a blatant disregard for the public.

This has been proven by the fines issued by the MET with regards to lockdown parties.

The government should require them to resign.
During the lockdowns many families spent heartbreaking final moments through screens with loved ones.
All were separated from family and friends and most forsook parties and get together a as we followed the rules which the Prime Minister regularly reminded us about.
The police have fined him, and the chancellor for breaking these rules which so many of us followed.
This makes us so very angry. How dare they act like one rule for us and one for them?

They are not above the law and must resign.

Why it was rejected
