Direct Democracy for the UK
Rejected

What the petition asks
We believe the UK electorate would feel more involved and have more of a voice under Direct Democracy, and that politicians would be more accountable under this system of government.
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. We're not sure exactly what you mean by "direct democracy". You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
