Rejected petition Renationalise the Post Office

Compulsary purchase of the Post Office and bring it back into public ownership

More details

Privatisation of the Post Office has failed. 500 years of a service has been all but destroyed in 20 years and led to scandals, false imprisonment, injustice, money grabs and foreign ownership. It is a service not a business and should never have been treated as such. It is a lifeline to thousands of communities and the recent announcement of closures in order for shareholders profit to be maximised highlights again why the private sector cannot be trusted with this service.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

You may wish to submit a petition asking for the nationalisation of Royal Mail, as the Post Office is already publicly owned.

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