Motion of no confidence for leaders of both the government and the opposition
Over the past 2 years the Brexit negotiations and the scrutiny of them has let the citizens of this country down. The replacement of the leaders has been called for by a proportion of the electorate after the standstill of governance. With a paralysed parliament things need to change.
There have been calls recently over the confidence in the leaders of the opposition and the government from both the electorate and the Houses of Parliament. We live in a country that takes pride in its democracy, which thrives on the basis of representation. It is undemocractic and simply unfair to ignore the electorate.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for a vote of no confidence.
We used to accept petitions that called for a vote of no confidence. However, the Petitions Committee can’t schedule votes of no confidence. This was often frustrating and disappointing for petitioners.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.
