What the petition asks
THE CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION IS THE SEAT OF CORRUPTION AND HAS UNDEMOCRATIC INFLUENCE IN THIS COUNTRY.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The City of London Corporation is not an independent state. We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
It is clear that you are concerned about the governance of the City of London. If you could start a petition calling for a specific action, which would need to be the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament, we could look at this again.
