Rejected petition reverse retirement age increase.

60 year old Lord Robert Devereux who pushed through rises in the state pension age, is to retire at 61 with a retirement pot worth £1.8million. This to me is total discrimination,
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
A number of changes to the state pension age have been agreed by the UK Parliament. We're therefore not sure what you would like the state pension age to be for men and women.
Also, a new scheme for civil servant pensions was introduced on 1 April 2015. Under this scheme, civil servants will have a normal pension age which is linked to their state pension age.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
