Why was this petition rejected?

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

All the arrangements for UK participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union, are the responsibility of the BBC: the UK Government and the UK Parliament have no responsibility for these arrangements.

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