Rejected petition Elect Douglas Bates as Prime Minister

Douglas Bates is a stand up guy, he would make a great prime minister, whilst he has no political experience, his views are non biased, somewhat backwards and often back and forth.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

In any case, as you might already know, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.

After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
