This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Whipping is a matter for political parties, and not HM Government.

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

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
