This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about who can stand as a candidate in elections to be Conservative Party leader are a party-political matter for the Conservative Party, not the UK Government or House of Commons as a whole.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.

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