What the petition asks
"To give the National Insurance Fund the protection it deserves there should be a separate and largely autonomous financial institution, with a governing National Insurance Commission to fix rates and to propose structural changes.".-Catalyst Forum 2003 via Tony Lyons and David Hencke
An arrangement along these lines, firmly taking control of the National Insurance Fund is essential to command public ongoing support.
The system since 1999 whereby any govt currently in power, on a whim, moves the eligibility goalposts, has been disastrous and must cease.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you want changes to how the National Insurance Fund operates but we aren't sure what changes you would like to see.
You could start a new petition setting out clearly who would oversee the Fund and how it would operate.
