Rejected petition All 650 MPs must be present in debate if a petition gets 1,000,000+ signatures.

Make it obligatory that all 650 MPs are present in debate of a petition that has achieved 1,000,000 or more signatures.

More details

There are 650 MPs and around 65,000,000 people in the UK. This means that each MP is responsible on average for around 100,000 people. If a petition gets 1,000,000 or more signatures, it is in evidence that at least 10 MPs have failed to carry out their duties correctly.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We understand that you want the Government or House of Commons to change how petitions that receive a certain number of signatures are treated, but it is up to individual MPs, not the Government or House of Commons, to decide which debates to attend.

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

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
