What the petition asks
For as long as we're stuck in the EU, we should probably have a People's Vote to endorse Martin Selmayr as the Secretary-General to the European Commission. He appears to be the only person to have voted. For himself.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be the responsibility of the European Union as a whole and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to propose that the post of Secretary-General to the European Commission be elected if that is something you would like to see happen.
