Rejected petition Stop Government censorship of Epetition systems
More details
Yesterday I wrote an Epetition regarding National Insurance and benefit payments. My petition was fair stating that our contributions should reflect what we receive. It was rejected. So I went away and re-worded it and made it more concise. I searched the other petitions and found that while there were calls to abolish it or merge it with income tax there were none that just wanted it to be kept but made sure we receive what we pay. So it wasn't a duplicate. But it got rejected again saying it was. There is obviously censorship in place. For Epetitions to work it has to be handed to an independant body of intelligent, trustworthy people not other government employees.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
The Government will not enter into correspondence on rejected e-petitions.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
