Rejected petition Bring in another emergency lockdown

Rejected on 6 December 2021

We want the Government to bring in another extended lockdown to combat the ongoing coronavirus threat. With the spread of new variants and increasing number of cases including a rise in death rates, it is sensible of the Government to enact another lockdown for the safety of the nation.

The Government has an overall remit and mandate to enact covid measures at their most extreme.

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 understand that you are concerned about the spread of Covid-19, and want the Government to implement another lockdown, but there have been a range of restrictions introduced in past lockdowns, and it's not clear what restrictions you want to be introduced - for example, closure of businesses and places of education, requirements to work from home, prohibitions on leaving the home except for essential purposes.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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