More details

With the sale of public sector organisations going out to private sector organisations, and the needs of the public are not being measured against the profits via shareholders, we have been short changed via our infrastructure, if our infrastructure was still under government holdings then this cost of living crisis could have been better handled, for numerous occasions governments from all sides have looked to short-term issues, not the larger overview of the public needs.

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're not sure if you want a ban on the selling of public assets, or for any sales to be the subject of a consultation or referendum before they take place.

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.
