This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Civil Service code already makes it clear that the Civil Service supports the government of the day in developing and implementing its policies, and in delivering public services, and that civil servants must serve the government, whatever its political persuasion, to the best of their ability in a way which maintains political impartiality and is in line with the requirements of this code, no matter what their own political beliefs are.

We can accept petitions calling for changes to the Civil Service code, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made.
