Rejected petition Agree Michael Gove is unfit for public office & demand his immediate resignation

It is believed Gove deliberately misled the UK electorate & made claims he knew to be false for his own political gain.
Having purposefully & deliberately misled the UK public, Gove's position as a public servant is untenable. We urge Conservative party MPs to carefully consider his track record.

More details

A specific example is Gove's endorsement of a poster specifically promising an additional £350m per week of funding for the NHS if the UK left the EU. His campaign bus was emblazoned with a slogan further supporting this message. These claims potentially influenced the outcome of a referendum critical to the nation. At the time of doing so Gove knew this figure to be grossly inaccurate and that the pledge could not be upheld.
