Rejected petition A Prime Minister who acts unlawfully shall face a vote of no confidence by law.

The United Kingdom deserves leadership by those who are able to follow the rule of law. It should be a basic assumption that Prime Ministers will not break the law, and a Prime Minister found to have acted unlawfully should automatically face a vote of no confidence in the house of commons.
