What the petition asks
Recent examples of overwhelming support for legislation which has been blocked by an individual member calling 'Object' to reject an overwhelmingly approved bill
I call for such members to be held to account to justify 'object' actions not only with context of legislative process, but also in the context of the bill content, and it's intent regarding ramifications of it's non-acceptance for those parties the bill is intended to protect.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
