Make replying to petitions with a copy and paste reply from DExEU an offence.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Petitions with particular concerns over Brexit are answered with the same insulting, meaningless copy-and-paste reply, often not addressing at all the subject or concerns of the petitioners.

A suitable prison sentence of fine for the perpetrators of such cavalier treatment of UK citizens by government ministers or civil servants would be quite justified.

If the petition.parliament.uk system is continuously abused in this way it renders the whole scheme pointless and UK citizens voiceless.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you are not satisfied with the Government's response to this petition:

Rescind Art.50 if Vote Leave has broken Electoral Laws regarding 2016 referendum

The Petitions Committee, which oversees the petitioning process, will be writing to the Government to ask for a revised response. The Committee has scheduled a debate on petition 223729 for 10 September.
