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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you'd like changes to how the petitioning process works, but we're not sure what you'd like the Government to do to address the perceived inefficiencies and what an 'official audit' would involve.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You can also contact the Petitions Committee team at petitionscommittee@parliament.uk with any suggestions.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
