Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament

Rejected petition Vote of no confidence in our present Government by Parliament

More details

The government needs to retain the confidence of a majority in the House of Commons. If the House votes to indicate that it has no confidence in the government, either by defeating the government on a confidence motion or by defeating a policy that the government has indicated is a 'matter of confidence', then a General Election would be called if a confidence motion in the new government was not passed within 14 days of the original no confidence motion.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Votes of no confidence are a matter for Parliament not the Government.

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