Every one understands the strain our public sector workers are under but also the need to not create more debt. Our aid funds no smoking campaigns in China and provides money to nuclear powers India and Pakistan this money should be prioritised at home before we help the rest of the world.
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 whether you'd like the entire overseas aid budget to be given to public sector workers in a pay rise or whether you'd like any pay rise for public sector workers to be deducted out of the current overseas aid budget.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
