Rejected petition Hold a referendum on the Great Barrington Declaration

Allow the British public to vote on whether or not to follow the proposals oulined in Great Barrington Declaration to put an end to lockdowns

More details

The government response to Covid19 has been to put the country in lockdown. We have endured this since March and it is clearly not working. This is having drastic effects on people's lives and the economy and we need a new solution.
The Great Barrington Declaration offers a way out of this current mess. Government is only interested in imposing further lockdowns on people, making the situation worse. If government will not listen to the people, then allow the British public to vote for themelves

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.

We understand you want the Government to change its approach to Covid-19, but petitions must state clearly what changes they want the Government to make to current policy, and not simply refer to an external document.

In any case, we believe these petitions call for similar actions:

Referendum on current restrictions and any further lockdowns: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/551539

Fund & provide services to allow the vulnerable to shield & re-open the economy: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552023

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