Petition Close down petition.parliament.uk

The petition to end all petitions. Literally.
This website is a farce. People use it for posting jokes, and things that will never, ever be considered by government.
Not only that - the threshold for government response is so low, it’s undemocratic; yet few petitions even reach this pitiful level.

More details

To summarise, nobody, or - at most - incredibly few people treat petition.parliament.uk seriously, and the government certainly don’t.
The “Ban Donald Trump” petition - seen as a joke by signatories. The “legalise cannabis” and “sack Jeremy Hunt” petitions - seen as jokes by the government.
What purpose, other than theatre, can a website that achieves nothing serve?

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
