Rejected petition Call vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Theresa May

Since being elected, Prime Minister Theresa May has continually shown a lack of direction in handling Brexit proceedings, along with lack of support from the public and her own cabinet - including the recent resignations of David Davis and Boris Johnson.

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, including the Prime Minister, to be sacked or for a vote of no confidence.

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.

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.
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.
