Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The standing down of an individual Minister is not a matter for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
We could accept a petition simply calling for a vote of no confidence in a Minister, because that is something that the House of Commons could do.
In addition, people who create petitions are required to give their full name. I am sorry if this wasn’t clear to you.
We will have to reject your petition for these reasons, but if you resubmit your petition with your surname added and without the text about the Minister standing down, we would be able to approve it.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
