Rejected petition Hold referendums on petitions with enough signatures to vote on whether to make them laws

More details

I propose that if a group or person can get a designated number of signatures on a petition for a new law that they are proposing, that the government must initiate a national referendum for the public to vote on whether the proposed law should become law or not. The public – the people – should have the right to make their own laws on what they want.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

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.
