Keep Boris Johnson as prime minister let the public decide

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the public to have the choice of who our prime minster or next prime minister is.
We want the government to let the public vote

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.
