Make e-petitions count
It appears that the government can just ignore those e-Petitions that get 100,000 votes if they want to without any debate in parliament. An example in question if the West Coast rail franchise, where despite over 150,000 signatures to date, they government is refusing to debate before signing the contracts. This isn't good enough and makes this whole e-petition process worthless.
This petition is to ask the government to give more teeth to the e-petition process.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
