We believe that Mr Nigel Farage should be nominated for a Knighthood

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that Mr Nigel Farage has made an outstanding contribution
to retain the sovereignty of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but has been wrongfully overlooked in the New Year's Honours awards
The sustained efforts of Mr Farage almost soley resulted in a national referendum being held in respect of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's membership of the the European Union, and the overwhelming rejection of this Union by the general public. Although some people may not agree with him he, nevertheless, was the main instrument in obtaining a democractic and unanimous vote to leave the EU

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.

Members of the public can nominate people for honours directly. You can find out how to nominate someone for an honour here:
