Give government time to debate the Prime Minister's resignation

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

An online petition was submitted demanding the resignation of PM Keir Starmer. (1) It has reached over 300,000 signatures. Given the rate at which it is gathering signatures this matter should be debated in parliament.
After the resignations of Boris Johnson & Liz Truss Labour demanded a general election. It is only right that should PM Starmer be forced to resign we have a general election.
