Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments. This includes calling for a Minister to be removed from their job, or for a vote of no confidence to take place in the House of Commons.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
