Petition · past parliament

Bangladesh should be part of the EU and get protection from British soldiers

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I feel as if Bangladesh has gone through a lot of hard times and the people should be able to migrate to Europe with ease.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Countries which want to join the EU need to go through the formal EU accession process. You can find out more about this here:
