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. There are two separate asks in this petition. We are also not sure what you mean by a vote of no confidence in the monarchy, whether this means abolishing it or replacing the current monarch. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You may also wish to sign the following petitions which call for similar actions: Give the British Public the Right to Vote No Confidence in the Government https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/734311 Referendum changing the UK from constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/735302

Background

Currently, UK citizens have no direct way to hold Parliament or the Monarchy accountable between elections. The Public Vote of No Confidence Act 2025 would change this by giving the people the power to trigger a binding national referendum if 5 million registered voters sign a verified petition. This reform would restore trust in democracy, ensure greater accountability, and return real power to the public when leaders fail to represent them.
