Petition Make government responses to petitions more productive.

The responses to petitions started online more often than not simply sustain that "the government is confident it has made the right decision." This is hugely counter-productive in easing the public's concerns over government actions.

More details

Given that a petition gains the appropriate number of signatures to be responded to, it is clear that a large number of people disagree that the government has made the right decision, and reiterating this statement without any due consideration for why or where the concerns are coming from defeats the object of having this platform for petitions.
Concerns must be understood and responded to with possible courses of action to improve the situation brought to attention by the petitions.

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.
