Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament has failed democracy and the people of the UK who the Politicians are appointed to serve
It is time to dissolve Parliament as they are now the monarchy of old ignoring and persecuting the democratic processes, they need to be removed and Parliament dissolved using Oliver Cromwells dissolution of Parliament Act 1653

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 all legislation passed during the Protectorate was annulled at the Restoration. Parliament would need to pass new legislation.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly what you would like Parliament replaced with if that is something you would like to see happen.
