Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameroon Vs Nigel Farage, one to one debate on EU Britexit live on TV before the polling date of 23rd June 2016.

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. The UK Government and Parliament as a whole do not have the power to make the Prime Minister attend a debate. It would be up to television companies to arrange a debate and to invite people to attend.
