Rejected petition The people decide who becomes prime minister
Rejected on
Listen to the people. We have the right to decide who runs this country.
Most MPS that voted Boris out now want his job. Its a conspiracy and we can not stand back and let this flip flop government decide amongst themselves. Enough is enough..we want to vote for the next prime minister of this country!
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about honours or appointments.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes petitions about the removal or appointment of the Prime Minister.
Currently the Prime Minister is normally the leader of the political party with the most MPs, and it is up to individual political parties how to select their leader.
We could accept a petition calling for the Prime Minister to be elected by a public vote, but you'd need to be clear how you wanted this election to work.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
