Rejected petition Have a People's Vote on Martin Selmayr as Secretary-General to the EC.

For as long as we're stuck in the EU, we should probably have a People's Vote to endorse Martin Selmayr as the Secretary-General to the European Commission. He appears to be the only person to have voted. For himself.

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 the responsibility of the European Union as a whole and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to propose that the post of Secretary-General to the European Commission be elected if that is something you would like to see happen.

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