Rejected petition All party leaders must appear in televised debates on UK television.

Theresa May has decided that she will not appear in any live TV debates for the General Election. All party leaders should welcome the opportunity to debate with the people and if they are convinced by their arguments, they should take this important opportunity and defend their position.

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 would be a decision for Theresa May to make as leader of the Conservative party, not as the Prime Minister. We can only accept petitions about the Prime Minister’s actions as part of the Government, not as the leader of a political party.

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