Rejected petition Campaign for a Basic Income Guarantee

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.

We understand you are in favour of a basic income guarantee but we are unsure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to adopt a basic income guarantee if that's something you would like to see happen.

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