Rejected petition Stop people starting petitions just because they're upset

Rejected on

Petitions should be in relation to matters of great public significance. There should be a statutory filter of petitions to ensure that matters of trivial concern do not proceed.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition calling for a specific change to the rules for petitions. You can find out about the rules here:

https://petition.parliament.uk/help

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