Make Liberal Democrats drop the inappropriate word "Democrats" from party name
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
As the Lib Dems so clearly wish to ignore the result of UK's Biggest ever democratic vote and use unelected House of Lords to do it, the word "Democrats" in their party name is wholly incorrect and misleading.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for the names of political parties.
