Rejected petition Call for a referendum on the UK to join the USA as its 51st state.

Widespread distrust in the UK:
Illegal migration: Small boat crossings and asylum misuse.
Knife crime: Daily stabbings in cities.
MP misconduct: Scandals involving lying and bigotry.
Grooming gang cover-ups: Justice system failures.
Net zero debates: Policy seen as impractical drill baby drill

More details

Joining the USA as the 51st state could bring the UK:
Economic Growth: US market access boosts trade and jobs.
Enhanced Security: Strongest military alliance integration.
Stable Governance: Federal system’s stability.
Cultural Synergy: Shared history eases ties.
Autonomy: Local control preserved.
Less bureaucracy and red tape and real estate sales of london prime property would be a huge tax saving to the tx payer.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Joining of the United States of America would be a matter for the US Congress to decide, and not something the UK Government or Parliament could unilaterally do.

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