Allow Parliamentary Petition Authors to speak in the Parliamentary Debates
All too often the debates for Parliamentary petitions are not well attended, go off track and are not enough of the agent for change they are intended to be. It is time for the people who bring these petitions and lobby to get signatures to be heard in the debates.
Only MPs are allowed to speak in debates, which means that not one petition author has spoken or argued the points of their petition in the debate chamber. For those of us who follow the televised debates, it looks like MPs are simply going through the motions. Allowing petitioners to speak in the debate would be a far better use of everyone's time.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
