Epetitions with 100000 supporters automatically go before backbench business committee
Since e-petitions which have received 100000 signatures have not been considered further by the backbench business committee because no MP has deigned to make the case for their consideration, I propose that this step be removed in the interests of increased democracy. This would truly make epetitions an easy way for the public to influence Government policy.
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:
This is a matter for the Backbench Business Committee to consider.
