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:
The election of councillors in Darlington is the responsibility of the electorate there, not the Government or Parliament.
The Government does have the power to appoint "commissioners" to take over the functions of a council, but for this power to be exercised there needs to be a ‘best value inspection’ that uncovers failings that are serious enough to justify its use.
