Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Cabinet Ministers to be sacked or fired.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
