Rejected petition Ban Forced Military Conscriptions, Advocate for Voluntary Service Only

Advocate for voluntary military service only and ban forced conscriptions. By doing so, we not only respect individual freedom but also take a step towards preventing potential harm to our youth's mental health.

More details

Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year and there is a significant increase in mental health disorders among veterans compared to civilians. This indicates that exposure to military environments can have detrimental effects on an individual's mental wellbeing. I believe that forced military conscription could exacerbate these problems.

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 that you are concerned about military conscription.

The Government has not announced any plans to introduce conscription, so we're not sure what you want the Government or Parliament to do.

We also cannot accept petitions that do not include a full name.

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