Let the people decide if Boris Johnson remains as Prime Minister.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Put leadership to the vote. It’s called democracy
Take away these powers from media and MP’s they should not be able to decide who leads this country. The people need to make that decision.

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.
