Rejected petition Theresa May must faceJeremy Corbyn in live TV debates for the 2017 election

For the 2017 General election to be fair Theresa May must debate Jeremy Corbyn to allow the voters a balanced view of the policies of both parties.
Refusing to take part in debates does not allow the voters the opportunity to get a fair view of their policies in the short time before the election

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.
