Create a rule that a Prime Minister can only be elected by a General Election

Petition Details

I believe that the electorate should determine who is Prime Minister not the Members of Parliament. For example Boris Johnson was elected by the public but ousted by the Members of Parliament without any public consultation.

Additional Information

The public feel disenfranchised with politics. We are asked to vote at general elections based on policies and individuals but the political parties then do not honour their manifestos. There is no accountability to manifesto pledges.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We are unsure if you mean only elected, or only elected and removed.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
