This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Give the people the right to remove an 'unfit for office' Prime Minister.

As the public clearly want to see change to the political system,let us create a process to give the people the chance to challenge whether a prime minister is fit for office. A Prime Minister with no mandate must be avoided, MPs show allegiance based on their chances of receiving a role in cabinet.

More details

It will not be a simple process granted but if we all know someone is unfit, and MPs know someone is unfit yet they support them anyway this is wrong and if they can't say it, we must.
