Rejection code: duplicate (see below for details)
Abandon the system for starting petitions.
The system for allowing the raising of petitions should give ordinary citizens a voice in Parliament. If however they are refused even before a debate has been scheduled the system is unfit for purpose.
A recent example is where almost 2 million people voted an issue of great significance but the government refused the request before any discussion had taken place.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
