Ban British Politicians from the Cenotaph Remembrance Day Parade.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In view of the British Veterans being prosecuted for carrying out Government orders we feel that it is disrespectful to veterans and serving members of HM Forces to allow British Politicians to lay Wreaths at the Cenotaph.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for the Royal British Legion and not the UK Government or Parliament.
