Rejected petition Declare 1st May a national holiday to celebrate the Union of the United Kingdom

We, the undersigned, believe that the 1st of May should be marked as a national holiday and be declared "Union Day" to celebrate the creation of the United Kingdom which was born out of the historic Act of Union of 1707.

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.

1 May is already a national holiday, so we're not sure what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.

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