Rejected petition We call for a Vote of No Confidence in Home Secretary Amber Rudd

Amber Rudd, through not allowing Lauren Southern into the country is stifling free speech using ‘hate speech’ prevention as an excuse. However, she turns a blind eye to violent extremists entering our country. This is gross incompetence, and she must be removed from office

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or for a vote of no confidence.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.

We used to accept petitions that called for a vote of no confidence. However, the Petitions Committee can’t schedule votes of no confidence. This was often frustrating and disappointing for petitioners. Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.

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