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 are concerned about the current election processes, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

It's not clear if you want parliamentary elections to be abolished entirely and replaced with a new recruitment process, or if you want something else. It's also not clear who you want to be responsible for selecting MPs.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
