Class “far right” as hate speech and ban it.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe labeling individuals or groups as “far right” should be banned.

A ban would force more precise, constructive dialogue, focusing on specific actions or policies rather than inflammatory labels that sow mistrust and obscure truth.

Because it’s a vague, overused term that often serves as a weapon to silence or discredit dissenting voices without evidence or nuance. It’s a lazy tactic that shuts down debate, polarizes society, and unfairly stereotypes people with diverse views. When those in power or high office use it, it amplifies division and risks abusing their influence to vilify opponents rather than engage with ideas.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. It is not the Government's responsibility to label groups in this way.

Petitions also need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly how you'd like the Government to enforce this.
