Rejected petition To hold a public referendum on confidence in Her Majesty’s Government

To hold a referendum as soon as possible which allows the general public to indicate whether Her Majesty’s Government retains their confidence or not, in light of its handling of the Coronavirus pandemic.

More details

In light of the Coronavirus outbreak, many of the issues that the British public voted on in December 2019 have been sidelined. Given the severity and nature of the crisis Britain has faced and continues to face, the public must be allowed to indicate whether Her Majesty’s Government continues to retain their confidence in handling the pandemic and other national issues. The people have been asked to make many sacrifices over the course of this year: it is only fair the Government do the same.
