Remove Mark Carney as Governor of the Bank of England.
According to www.parliament.co.uk:
"The Court may, with the consent of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, remove a person from office as Governor, Deputy Governor or director of the Bank if it is satisfied that he......or that he is unable or UNFIT TO DISCHARGE HIS FUNCTIONS as a member."
Mr. Carney recently made comments to the press including hinting at a "recession" and a "run on the pound" in the event of a vote to leave the EU. He, more than anyone, should be aware of the inevitable reaction of the currency markets to words uttered by a central banker.
He is therefore "unfit to discharge his functions" and government should pursue his removal from office.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In any case, we cannot accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. A decision to remove the Governor is one which only the "Court" (or board) of the Bank of England can initiate.
