Rejected petition Stop Charter Cities and Freeports

The idea for Charter cities an Freeports should be shelved. None should be set up.

More details

Many people in the UK will be worried about the idea of having everything from police force to healthcare, education to the justice system and the legislature run by a single company with the only accountability being to itself.

The NHS, is one of the UK's biggest achievements and if we lose it with this plan, it will be a travesty.

We have a general election every 4 or 5 years, so if we don't like the current lot, we can vote them out. Losing this power will turn the UK into a dictatorship

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.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not aware of any proposals from the Government to create Charter Cities. We could accept a petition calling for the Government to scrap Freeports, if that's something you'd like to see happen.

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