Rejected petition Vote of no confidence in Science Minister Jo Johnson in regards to recent events

Boaty McBoatface. The voice of the British population have spoken, we wish to name the polar ship Boaty McBoatface! Positions such as Science Minister are in place to serve public interest rather than dictate, and I feel as though this stepping outside the boundaries of the minister's position.

More details

-Have the ship renamed back to it's former glory of 'Boaty McBoatface'

-Science Minister Jo Johnson either apologise and recognise his position's nature, or fully renounce all relations to said position

-Rename the remotely operated vessels to Attenborough related names, once again decided by the public if possible.
