Rejected petition Consider Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan for Prime Minister.
Now that the people of the United Kingdom have decided to leave the EU we need a strong and positive Prime Minister.
Daniel Hannan MEP is a highly intellectual Eurosceptic politician with an incredible passion and Charisma, and in my opinion is the best candidate for post brexit Prime Minister.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Under the UK's constitution, the Monarch invites the person who appears most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons to serve as Prime Minister and form (or continue) a government.
This is usually the leader of the party which has a majority of seats in the House.
The leadership of a political party is a matter for the party concerned, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
