Allow a petition starter to address parliament when a petition is to be debated
Currently a petition is debated upon its merits in a committee or house when it reaches it's 100,000 threshold. Democracy would be seen to be done if the petition starter was part of the debate from the outset to represent all the signatories.
The UK has a history of inviting even foreign dignitaries to address different areas of parliament. It is now time for petitions which reach 100,000 signatories to have their starting petitioner invited to parliament to address the start of the debate. If he/she would rather appoint a proxy then that too should be offered.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
