Rejected petition Decriminalise not having a television licence

Why are we paying it???!!! Stop now or it will get worse. It currently costs just under 40p per day to watch a tv. Even if your not watching it daily. The price is fixed until march 2017. I propose the tv licence be axed.

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.

We;re not sure whether you would like the TV licence to be axed, or whether you would like non-payment to be decriminalised.

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