Rejected on

Petitions with real weight and vast amounts of support but the majority of them get debated but not acted upon. Parliament works for us the people. Just as we vote our governments in and out. We should be able to call them to account at any time we chose. Too many petitions are ignored.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. For instance, you could suggest that a vote on the petition takes place in the House of Commons if a petition receives over a million signatures.

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