Rejected petition Shut Down Epetition Website: As It's Not Fit For Purpose And Is Demoralising.

The website is being run by a bunch of hypocritical, self serving scourge who should be sacked. The site has failed to empower anyone, often resulting in little more that a snotty, defiant retort from the Government that exhibits a blatant disregard for public opinion. And precious little else.

More details

Petitions being rejected due to committee opinion (eg. Ban Islam: rejected because it offended the committee, nothing more than opinion). No petition should be rejected due to personal opinion.

Cheating: (eg. "Ban Donald Trump" had duplicate signatures, none were deleted but the opposing petition "Don't Ban Trump" had 10s of 1000s of signatures deleted. CHEATING!

Too many petitions not being debated (eg. Vote of no confidence in D. Camoron).

Nothing positive accomplished by any petition.
