Rejected petition Stop Theresa May becoming priminister

So as we know everyone just dropped out of the race for priminister, we as the British public deserve a voice, and need to be able to show our disapproval of this move.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Under the UK's constitution, the Monarch invites the person who appears most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons to serve as Prime Minister and form (or continue) a government.

This is usually the leader of the party which has a majority of seats in the House.

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

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