Reinstate Local Elections

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The government is allowing schools to stay open despite the Covid-19 virus, Parliament is still sitting, football is only off for a few weeks, but it is considered bad enough to suspend the democratic process, even if suspension is required, why a full year?

The government has chosen to keep schools open and there are those who have said they want to build a herd immunity, including The PM himself...yet for some reason it is seen as a bad enough reason to suspend the democratic process in this country and suspend local elections for a full year. This defies logic and Parliament should reinstate local elections

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We've rejected this petition as it is now out of date, since schools are being closed.

You might like to sign this petition instead:

Shorten the delayed local election time to at least August.

You could start a new petition calling for elections to take place as planned but without comparing it to things that have now been cancelled or closed.
