This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition TV debate between political parties for the upcoming general election June 8th.

It is rightly the fundamental basics of democracy to have politicians debate and create and atmosphere of choice amongst British voters in the upcoming election.

More details

Theresa May has refused to partake in a TV debate for the upcoming snap General election she called. This is a short period of time that a voter can make a decision, thus it is the duty of the government to make sure engagement through different networks is performed fairly.

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.
