Rejected petition Stop "March for Europe protests" as they directly threat our democracy.

March for Europe protests have wasted resources, police time and worst of all - it is directly threatening our democracy. These people clearly don't understand that we had a vote back on June the 23rd, so protesting about reversing a democratic referendum now would certainly be unacceptable.

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.

The right to peaceful protest is protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. The police have some powers to restrict protest assemblies under the Public Order Act 1986. You may wish to contact your local police station if you are concerned about a planned protest.

You could start a new petition calling on Parliament to repeal or restrict the right to peaceful protest, if that's what you would like to happen.

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