Rejected petition Speed up the ballot for our new Prime Minister

On 7 July Conservative MPs chose two candidates for a new Prime Minister. But party members are not due to make a final decision until 9 September. Delay leaves the country rudderless, despite real-life harm to jobs & security. We believe a new Prime Minister should be elected by the end of July.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The election of the leader of a political party is a matter for the party concerned, not for the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
