Public to vote whether Boris Johnson stays or goes as PM

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Let public decide fate of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister
Because I don't think it should be down to MP's to decide

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept petitions about appointments. This includes calling for a specific Minister to be given a, or removed from their, job, no matter how such a decision was reached.

You could have a petition calling for a Prime Minister only to be removed from office subject to a public vote, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
