Stop Barack Obama from getting involved in UK referendum
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
United States is not part of the EU therefore I see no reason for Barack Obama to be flying to London to get involved in the up and coming referendum.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the content of speeches made by the President of the USA, nor for the visits he chooses to make.
