Stop politicians attending Remembrance Parade on Remembrance Sunday in November.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Last year, on the 351st. birthday of the Corps of Royal Marines serving Marines were ordered not to attend the gathering in London as it was deemed to be 'a political demonstration'. I suggest that the presence of politicians at the Cenotaph also constitutes a political demonstration.

Why it was rejected

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