Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for a vote of no confidence in the Government. This is set out in the Committee's standards: https://petition.parliament.uk/help
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
