Increase the number of politicians at remembrance ceremonies

I am asking the Government to increase the number of politicians at national remembrance ceremonies, such as the wreath-laying at the Cenotaph, to allow participation from individuals who have achieved significant voter representation across the UK.

Background
I want the Government to make national remembrance ceremonies like the Cenotaph remembrance ceremony more inclusive by having public figures with significant voter support to lay wreaths. We think this would honor the broader public’s voice, ensuring that those who’ve gained substantial support from the electorate can represent them in national remembrance, reflecting Britain’s diverse democratic landscape.
