This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

You could start a new petition calling for the rules in the House of Commons to be changed, so that MPs speaking in the House of Commons are not allowed to use the term "Brit".

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