Reform rules on filibustering in the House of Lords.
The house of Commons has recently passed legislation to require the prime minister to ask for an extension to article 50. This is the clear will of the Commons. The purpose of the house of Lords is to scrutinse legislation, not block it, and filibustering is an innapropriate method for this purpose.
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:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
We cannot accept a petition calling for changes to the procedures of the House of Lords. This site is jointly owned by the UK Government and the House of Commons, neither of which has the power to do this. The House of Lords itself is responsible for any changes to its procedures and practices.
