What the petition asks
There is a lot of propaganda regarding the forthcoming EU referendum and the public are understandably confused. The public need to see the views held by the Prime Minister tested by the main opponent, Nigel Farage.
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. It would be up to television companies to arrange a debate and to invite people to attend.
