Rejected petition: NI assembly ministers should agree and set a budget
Rejected on
Once again the main parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly are holding the country to ransom. A budget should be discussed and agreed and this should not be conditional on party political arguments around marching and policing.
Northern Irish residents are being punished because the governing parties will not agree a budget. Budgets for the running of the country should not be conditional on whether or not 35 individuals can or cannot walk along a road.
This damages our children's education, our health services and a variety of jobs are in jeopardy in our essential public services. If it is not resolved, then we who sign will remember this as we approach the upcoming assembly election .
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
As currently drafted, this petition is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly and not directly a matter for the UK Government at the moment.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
