Parliament must take further action when petitions hit 1m signatures repeatedly
Introduce a rule requiring Parliament to take further action when the same issue reaches at least 1 million signatures on three separate petitions within the same parliamentary term. This should go beyond a response or debate and trigger a formal process for review or action.
Some issues repeatedly gain huge public support, often over 1 million signatures, yet only receive the standard response or debate without real progress. This shows sustained national concern. Parliament should not ignore repeated public pressure at this scale. A clear escalation mechanism would strengthen democracy, ensure public voices are respected, and provide a meaningful way for citizens to influence major issues.
