Rejected petition End British participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.

For too long, we have suffered national humiliation by participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. Now is our opportunity to right this wrong, or chose to continue with this annual disgrace.

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 BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

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