Scrap government e-petitions

Additional Information

The government e-petitions service adds nothing to our democratic system. It functions like the "close door" button on a lift, doing nothing but making people feel like they have control, when in reality there is nothing of the sort.

These petitions barely even receive lip service if they ever pass the threshold for a debate. Government e-petitions are just another tool to allow them to pretend to listen when they're doing nothing of the sort.

We don't need this service from the government, and would be better off without them.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
