Rejected petition Cameron MUST debate Salmond (Scottish Referendum)
Rejected on
This petition is put forward with a view to remind the British Prime Minister (David Cameron) that he has a responsibility to the electorate and the citizens of the United Kingdom to actually represent the UK in a public debate on the issue of the Scottish Referendum.
We, the electorate, expect to see the national/international representative of the UK (David Cameron) take this issue seriously and not shy away from this very serious democratic development..
A debate on Scottish Independence is not something the PM should have a choice to duck out of... It is in the national interest that he represents the UK in this debate.
But since the PM has shown his unwillingness/inability to enter the debate of his own accord, it is now down to the people of the UK to demand it.
Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
