Rejected petition Population Control Measures to be Introduced in the UK

More details

The UK needs population control.
The world population increases at approximately 250,000 people a day. The UK will have a population of 70 million people by the year 2029,the equivalent of gaining a city the size of Bristol every year for the next two decades. There just isn't the room, nor the resources.

We propose:
Financial incentives for parents with only one child, twins and triplets should not be exempt if they are the first born.
An increase in funding for contraceptive awareness and a direct movement against groups who oppose it.
An increase in payments to less developed countries to prevent the need for immigration which currently accounts for around half of our population growth.
