What the petition asks
In both previous Labour and current Conservative governments Prime Ministers have made decisions which affect all of us but they have no mandate from the electorate. It is the democratic right of the electorate to decide who will make decisions on our behalf.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
