What the petition asks
I request that her majesty’s government reconsider the peerage that has been afforded to the right honourable MP for Bassetlaw Mr John Mann, this appointment is widely seen as cronyism from the outgoing government of her right honourable MP Theresa May & makes a mockery of the honours list,.
Mr John Mann MP has consistently voted against his party & in favour of the opposition, while this is not in itself unconstitutional or even breaks party rules, it does leave open to debate that this peerage has been awarded for services rendered to the government from an opposition MP who has favoured them.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
