Rejected petition For parliament to pass a motion of no confidence in Her Majesty's Government.

The people have no confidence in the government. We ask the House of Commons to follow suit.

More details

Section 2 of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011 gives two ways for a snap election to be held. One is for the House of Commons to declare no confidence in the government, and the other is for a 2/3 majority of MPs to vote for an early election.

Furthermore, a motion of no confidence can be triggered based on a vote over a major issue on which the government fought the last general election. There are many areas where the government has failed to deliver on official election campaign promises.
