Reinstate the offence of sedition into UK Law.
The offence of sedition was abolished by Parliament but due to the behaviour of certain individuals openly undermining democracy, the Government and the Monarchy it needs to be reinstated.
All and sundry are now undermining UK Sovereignty, the UK Government and the Monarchy by openly engaging foreign powers in our domestic affairs against the peoples democratic wishes.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure what acts you would like to be covered by this new law. A 1977 Law Commission report found that "[t]here is probably no offence properly described as "sedition" in English law" and " there is likely to be a sufficient range of other offences covering conduct amounting to sedition".

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