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 name of a political party is a matter for the party concerned, not for the Government or Parliament.
The registration of party names for electoral purposes is a matter for the Electoral Commission, which is an independent regulatory body. Please refer to the following website for information on the work of the Commission:

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