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 Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011 already provides a fixed date every 5 years for General Elections.

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