What the petition asks
We the people wish it to be known by the UK Government and members of parliament that we wish Andrea Leadsom to be nominated as candidate for prime minister and wish this to be discussed by members of parliament.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
In any case, as you might already know, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
