Parliament to only consider debating petitions signed by 60% of the electorate
If we're looking at a turnout of 75% of the electorate being sufficient for referenda to be ratified, it seems like 100,000 people is very low for Parliament to consider petitions.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
At the moment, petitions can be signed by any British citizen or UK resident - not all of whom are eligible to vote (for example, petitions can be signed by people under 18). It's therefore not clear how we could establish whether 60% of the electorate had signed a petition.
