This petition was rejected

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 referendum on retaining or repealing the Human Rights Act, or retaining the HRA or replacing it with the proposed Bill of Rights.

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