Grant Nigel Farage a Knighthood for his hard work in starting the EU-referendum.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Nigel Farage has campaigned for an EU referendum for many years, it is his campaigning and the surge of UKIP support which led to David Cameron allowing the nation this historic opportunity to make our nation independent again.

He has been in great service to the entire United Kingdom.

He's a champion of democracy and through his efforts the UK has come to be a more democratic nation with supreme legislative power over itself instead of having to accept the laws put forward by a multinational organisation in which it had little representation.

Since 1999 he has been a Member of the European Parliament for South East England, formerly a very successful commodity broker, who still gave all his effort for the British people.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
