Review UKG Petitions (UKGP) Committee Rules
UKGP rejects Petitions which do not fall within UKGP criteria. If another respectable Petitions platform hosts a Petition which gains great popular support, in a very short space of time, it might be appropriate for the UKGP Committee to adopt that Petition so that it might properly be debated.
The decision to award A. Blair a Knighthood has generated a deal of public oppobrium. Many unsuccessful (due to UKGP Rules) attempts have been made to launch a UKGP on this topic. However: The Prime Minister DOES advise HMQ, and it follows that HMG does have some influence with HMQ in matters of this kind. On 5/1/22, over 700,000 have voted for a Petition on the Change.org platform, on this topic. UKGP Rules need review so that such petitions may be adopted for Debate by HMG.
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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you want a review of the petition rules, for the Petitions Committee to consider petitions hosted on other websites, or for the Committee to allow petitions relating to honours and appointments.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
