Abolish the practice of ex-Prime Ministers having Resignation Honours Lists

Petition Details

Stop resigning Prime Minister's from bestowing honours on their cronies and filling the House of Lords with undeserving (and unelected) friends or relations. This applies especially to Prime Ministers who have been forced out of office in disgrace or even been convicted of crimes

Additional Information

It brings the whole honours system in to disrepute and makes a mockery of the idea that the UK is a democratic country and not a corrupt state

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The submission of nominations for honours and appointments by outgoing Prime Minister's is a convention, and the Government and Parliament cannot prevent outgoing Prime Minister's from submitting such nominations.
