Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak - hold them accountable for breaking the law

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The positions of responsibility these two law breaking Ministers hold completely undermines any integrity of the British parliamentary system. I call for their immediate suspension, and that their suitability to hold positions of responsibility and power be reviewed as a matter of urgency.
It is completely incomprehensible that ministers, who have complete disregard for laws that they themselves made, and demanded the British public adhere to, should remain in office in British parliament. They should be held to the highest accountability standards and scrutiny.
It completely undermines the confidence of the British public for these senior ministers to remain in office. I believe I speak for the majority of the British populace. End corruption at the head of government!

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 MPs or Ministers to be sacked or for them to resign.
