What the petition asks
Joining with the Republic would avoid a hard border and ensure that Northern Ireland isn’t treated separately to the rest of the UK.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a decision for the people of the UK and Ireland, not the UK Parliament and Government.
