What the petition asks
Tax the wealthiest 1%
The cost of living crisis is effecting everyone and giving everyone (working class) a terrible standard of living whilst there’s reports of more billionaires in Britain than ever before. We need a fairer system
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 understand that you want to see a new tax to help fund public services, but we're not sure exactly who you want this new tax to apply to, or how you want this tax to work.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
