Rejected petition Lower the age that an individual can join a political party from 15 to 13.

I am 14 and I am very keen about politics and I feel that one of the ways I can contribute to society is by joining a political party. This will allow politicians to have access to the younger generations and their views on what the destiny of this country should be, especially with a Brexit vote.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is a decision for individual political parties to take, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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