Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Do not debate, or act upon, the petition to deselect Yvette Cooper.
It has come to our attention that a petition has been created to start a debate on deselecting Yvette Cooper.
In light of recent events - in which a bill she supported passed in commons, passed in the house of lords and received royal assent - we request that the petition in question be ignored.
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 selection of parliamentary candidates is the responsibility of political parties, not the UK Government or Parliament, so we can't accept petitions about it.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
