This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

How political parties instruct their MPs to vote in Parliament is a matter for political parties.

Referendums (and other elections) are secret ballots. MPs, just like other citizens, are free to vote how they wish.

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