This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Our major political parties should work together on climate change
We urge all major UK parties to work together on climate change, the most important issue facing us all, and to adhere to the Government’s UK Net Zero strategy
More details
The outcome of the Uxbridge by election, and the idea that this became a local referendum on ULEZ and other green measures, risks a race to the bottom by Labour and Conservative parties, falling over themselves to scrap pledges on climate change. They may perceive this as an easy way to buy some votes, but this approach would tarnish the UK’s international reputation as a climate leader. It would also be disastrous for the UK businesses who are now committed to delivering on this target
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, and we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition calling on the Government to create a cross-party body to agree plans to achieve Net Zero, if that's something you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
