Rejected petition To give a higher wage to doctors and less to footballers

Doctors save lives and footballers just play games and it costs a lot of money to build the stadiums and that money could be used to make new or more medicine.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government does control how much doctors get paid, but it doesn't decide how much footballers are paid.

If you would like doctors' pay to be increased, you could start a petition asking for this.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
