Rejected petition Boris Johnson must resign because he acted unlawfully in proroguing Parliament.

The Supreme Court has ruled that Boris Johnson acted unlawfully in proroguing Parliament. A Prime Minister who has abused his power in this way is unfit to hold that position.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The resignation of the Prime Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.

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