Petition · past parliament

Additional bank holiday this year to celebrate Boris Johnson’s resignation.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Let us all give Boris a good old send off. We can all enjoy cheese, wine, cake.
This will boost the economy and the moral of the country. We can then put this whole saga to bed.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We think you're joking.

In any case, we can't accept petitions calling for honours for specific individuals, including bank holidays.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
