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.
