Amend the petition system to allow signatories to agree OR disagree
Under the current petition system 10,000 signatures get a response from the Government and 100,000 signatures means the matter is considered for parliamentary debate.
Those who disagree are unable to indicate this to parliament. This should change, by allowing the public to disagree to a petition
The public should be able to inform parliament if they agree or disagree with a petition. Without this information parliament is unable to take into account all citizens' views.
By allowing signatories to agree or disagree with a petition, parliament would be better informed of the general public's view.
If this was to be introduced parliament may wish to consider whether the thresholds should remain as they are.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
