Prevent the Labour Party from excluding Jeremy Corbyn from the leadership Ballot

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Labour party members have overwhelmingly shown their support for Jeremy Corbyn as leader. He was voted in by the public, by people the party is supposed to represent.
Labour Party membership has surged presumably in response to the coup waged against him by Labour MPs. He is our elected leader!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The leadership of a political party is a matter for the party concerned, not the Government or Parliament.
