Rejected petition: Ban foreign born nationals being in office in UK

Rejected on

To stop foreign nationals being voted in to office deciding on British nationals


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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by foreign-born nationals, and whether you mean residents who do not hold British citizenship or anyone born overseas.

You could start a new petition along the lines of calling for citizenship requirements in order to hold elected public office in the UK.

If your petition is about elected public office holders in Scotland, you may wish to submit a petition to the Scottish Parliament: https://petitions.parliament.scot/

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