A public referendum on removing Boris Johnson as PM for breaking the law

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Hold a public referendum to allow the people of this country to decide whether Boris Johnson should be removed from office, as is our democratic right.

Boris Johnson is the first serving PM in our history who has broken the law while in office. It is time for him to leave office but he won't. The public should have a say in who they want to continue in leading the country and whether Boris Johnson should be removed from office.
