What the petition asks
UKIP are third largest political party in the UK.They received five million votes at last general election.Yet they are only represented by three UKIP peers in the House of Lords.This imbalance needs addressing by at least appointing Nigel Farage for his role in UK Brexit
The Liberal Democrats have substantially more peers, and the house is not representative of the electorate
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
