Rejected petition All politicians should wear mandatory hats.

Politicians should wear hats. Hats like traditional top hats or a nice bowler hat. These hats used to represent importance, and I argue they still do. Politicians should show their capability and importance by wearing a hat.

More details

We should respect the fine art of the hat and accommodate it into our government. There is no true respect like tipping at hat to someone. We should embrace tradition and show politicians’ importance with a fine hat. To be honest, there’s no harm in incorporating this. In fact, there is only a benefit when incorporating this rule. These hats will show politicians that they are important and shall be treated with respect.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Deciding to wear a hat would be a decision for an individual politician.

There is currently a ban on wearing hats within the House of Commons Chamber. You could start a new petition calling for this to be removed, if this is something you would like to see happen.

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