Rejected petition If a Government member resigns their position, they can never hold it again
Pretty self explanatory but if a government minister resigns their position (e.g. as Home Secretary, Chancellor, PM etc), they should then never qualify for that position again
More details
Whether they resigned willingly or were forced to, they clearly did such a poor job that they had to go, so it should be that they are barred from holding that position ever again. If this was like any other job you had to leave, you would never go & get hired again in the exact same capacity!, so why is it that for government
