Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure if you want the Government to renationalise all industries that were previously publicly owned, introduce new restrictions on the sale of public assets, or do something different.
