Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
Would like to see the Scottish government reverse the right to buy council house law, lots of working class people in the country can't afford to go and get 100,000 pound mortgage and are paying expensive rent for mediocre homes, time for this decision to be reversed.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
