What the petition asks
More than 100,000 new Labour Party members must pay a £25 fee to take part in the upcoming leadership election vote.
The decision by Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC) has caused outrage among Jeremy Corbyn's supporters who have interpreted it to be another attack on his leadership.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Procedures for the election of a party leader are a matter for the party concerned, not for the Government or Parliament.
