Rejected petition A vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Theresa May
Rejected on
U.K. Parliament is sovereign. Making a unilateral decision for war without parliamentary approval is unacceptable and will increase the threat to the U.K. Theresa May must either put this decision before Parliament, or be removed from office as she presents a threat to national security.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about honours or appointments.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or for a vote of no confidence.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
We used to accept petitions that called for a vote of no confidence. However, the Petitions Committee can’t schedule votes of no confidence. This was often frustrating and disappointing for petitioners. Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
