Rejected petition Any petition with 400,000 signatures should be considered with more seriousness

Parliament takes the will of the people too lightly. Our current system undervalues direct democracy.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like the Government or Parliament to take a specific action when a petition reaches 400,000 signatures, you could start a petition asking for that.

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

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
