More details

This petition is requesting the 1922 Committee to agree to Boris Johnson to become a wildcard candidate and run alongside the remaining two candidates to decide who they really prefer to lead the party into the next General Election.

The membership never had a say as to how they viewed Boris Johnson as a Prime Minister and this petition is requesting the 1922 Committee to reconsider their position and allow the membership to make the decision who leads the party into the next General Election.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the Conservative leadership contest are a matter for the Conservative Party, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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