Any new Prime Minister must have the confidence of the people and Parliament

Petition Details

We call for the Fixed-term Parliaments Act to be amended such that any new Prime Minister’s government must face an explicit vote of confidence in the Commons. If no government can win such a vote, a general election must be held.

Additional Information

After the EU Referendum result and the Prime Minister’s resignation, Parliament must show confidence in the Government or call a general election.


The Government and any new Prime Minister have no mandate for post-referendum negotiations. The exceptional circumstances and political division require a new mandate.


Petitions cannot call for a vote of No Confidence, nor for the dissolution of Parliament, but they can ask for an amendment to legislation such as the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.
