Rejected petition: Ban any change in prime minister or leadership contest during a World Cup.
Rejected on
Legislate to ban a change in prime minister or leadership contest during a World Cup tournament.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Leadership contests are not the responsibility of Parliament or the Government - they are the responsibility of individual political parties - likewise changes in Prime Minister which result from them
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
