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.
Statues in Victoria Tower Gardens aren't the responsibility of the UK Parliament, so it's not clear how these statues could be swapped in the way your petition asks for.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like Parliament to do. For example, you could ask Parliament to replace the current statue of Oliver Cromwell with its own statue of Emmeline Pankhurst. Alternatively, you could ask Parliament to negotiate an exchange of statues with the Royal Parks, which is responsible for Victoria Tower Gardens.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
