Rejected petition Make Theresa May engage in televised debates in the run up to the 2017 GE.

As our Prime Minister has decided that there should be a general election. It is only fair - in a representative democracy - that she face scrutiny from her opponents, and electorate to prove to her voters that she can handle herself under pressure as a leader, and a negotiator.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would be a decision for Theresa May to make as leader of the Conservative party, not as the Prime Minister. We can only accept petitions about the Prime Minister’s actions as part of the Government, not as the leader of a political party.

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