Voters must pass a test based on party policies and members before all elections
Many people vote for parties without knowing their proposed policies, understanding what their policies mean and how they’ll be achieved, and how they will change current policies. This petition proposes that all voters should take a small test, simply quizzing them on these things. Fail=no vote
Votes are influenced by misleading media, encouraged by friends, and, especially in the younger generation, for an image. Newspapers will smear different party’s in different papers, affecting the older generations view on a party and their policies, meanwhile, social media predominantly encourages the younger generation into believing it’s ‘cool’ to “hate the Tory’s”. The aim of this petition is to disregard all media and other influences and allow people to vote based on policies and fact.
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:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what would be in your proposed test or how it would be assessed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
