Petition · past parliament

We demand a divorce from London and the corrupt parliament within it.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Over the past years, it has become clear that London, and more particularly the corrupt parliament held there, has nothing in common with the rest of the UK. It has also shown it total contempt for our democracy, our way of life and our future.
For these and many other reasons, we demand that London be expelled from the UK and a new democratic capital be established to administer to the needs of the whole nation and not just a select few.

This unfortunate demand is brought about by our capital's continued attempts to betray Brexit, the peoples of the UK, and democracy. We voted to leave the EU; no negotiation, no compromise, no extended withdrawal. If London stays in the EU, it stays in alone.

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 UK Government and Parliament to take a specific action.

We aren't sure what you mean by "a divorce from London".

You could start a new petition calling on the Government or Parliament to create regional Parliaments in place of the UK Parliament if that is something you want to see happen.
