What the petition asks
Allow citizens to determine the worthiness of Knighthood candidates
When people with power can chose to whom they extend that power that is a tyranny. When people decide who can weild power that is democracy.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We cannot accept petitions about honours or appointments, including requests for individuals to be given or not given particular honours.
We could accept a petition calling for the process for granting knighthoods to be changed, so that this cannot happen if a certain number of objections are made against a knighthood being granted.
