Reform e-petitions - referendum at 500k, no word limits, immediate publication
Implement a new parliamentary petitions process that:
- requires a referendum if 500k signatures are reached
- removes limits on the length of petitions
- publishes petitions immediately.
Only petitions containing offensive content should be removed.
We believe the current petitions process is flawed because it does not result in MPs voting on the request of a petition. Debates are usually held once 100k signatures are reached but these rarely result in change.
Character limits in the current process can make it difficult to articulate what action you want the Government to take. I believe the majority of mine have been rejected on these grounds.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
