Rejected petition stop paying for eurovision as voting is political

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The decision to spend money on the Eurovision Song Contest is made by the BBC, which is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of Government and there is no provision for the Government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

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