This petition was rejected
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. We're not sure what you mean by a "fair debate". You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for the system to be changed so that the Government only provides its written response to a petition after it's been debated.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
