Combine e-petitions that relate to the same matter

Additional Information

There are too many e-petitions being created that relate to the same topics. Users should be checking is there is an existing petition to sign, but generally this does not happen.

By creating a duplicate petition you could actually be hampering the chances of it being discussed .

If there are 4x petitions relating to the same topic, each with 20,000 signatures, none of them will be likely to be discussed.
Combine these together and you instantly have 1 petition with 100,000 signatures to reach the benchmark required.

Petitions should be moderated and combined where appropriate in order to deliver a greater opportunity of the petition reaching debate.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
