It's just the political will that is lacking.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-05-24T12:53:10.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:11.229Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:38:34.339Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-05-24T12:53:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
