This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Give the option to vote ''for'' or ''against'' a petition on this website.
Some petitions are a one way system, but some others are not and therefore the voice of the proponents and opponents deserves to be heard on the matter. Give more people the opportunity to express theirs views and opinions. The government will get a far clearer picture of the public's opinion.
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.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would prefer to gather opinions through the public voting for or against specific statements. However this would not be a petitions system. Petitions are a request by a person or people to someone in a position of authority to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition asking the Government and Parliament to replace this site with a new way for the public to express their views through voting yes and no to different statements or requests if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
