PM David Cameron to debate #Brexit with Boris Johnson in a live TV debate

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

On June 23rd 2016 the United Kingdom will decide by referenda whether to Leave or Remain in the European Union. It is only fair the Prime Minister debates and is open to challenge on this issue in a live TV debate in front of the nation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The decision to schedule this debate would be for the broadcasters to make, not the Government or Parliament.
