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're concerned about the UK leaving the EU but we're not sure what you want to happen in relation to Brexit by calling a national emergency. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.

There's already a petition about a general election which you might like to sign. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
