What the petition asks
Politician should not visit terrorist groups or justify terrorism for political gain. To undermine democracy or the soldiers upholding it. Giving credence to terrorism stops terrorist from coming to the negotiating table sooner and leads to more violence.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
It's up to individual MPs to decide who they meet, not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
