Verify petition signatures by adding mandatory National Insurance box.
The Government petition system is a valuable tool allowing people to voice their opinion. In this time of fake news, it makes sense that all those that sign it, have the right to do so. A mandatory NI box will add another level of certainty, which is crucial for petitions to be taken seriously.
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:
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
Under the rules agreed by the House of Commons, anyone who is a UK resident or British Citizen can start or sign a petition. This includes people who do not have national insurance numbers, for example some British citizens who live abroad.
You could start a new petition asking for those rules to be changed so that only people who have a valid National Insurance number can start or sign petitions if that's something you would like to see happen.
