What the petition asks
Most drop down menus ignore the hard earned legal titles you and I have the privilege to own. Reduced to Mr Miss Ms and Dr, what happened to all the military and church and academic titles on the list? Some manage. Why can't all? What's so special about 'Doctor'? Mine's Revd. What's yours?
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is an operational decision for different organisations.
