What the petition asks
There is an organisation called "NHS against Brexit." Most of us use the NHS, not just the minority who voted to remain in Europe. The NHS should be approachable to all, taking NO political stance. As an NHS patient who voted Leave, I feel insulted and disparaged from seeking further NHS treatment.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for preventing people from taking part in political campaigning.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to make it illegal to use the name of the NHS without permission, if that's what you'd like to happen.
