More details

We have seen petitions are being fraudulently signed by people from all over the world on UK petitions, in particular in reference to the request for another referendum.

Anyone signing a petition MUST be legally eligible to do so, and the current system is being abused extensively and illegally. Having a formal system in place would not only prevent fraud, but where fraud does occur would offer the opportunity to take legal action against those concerned and maintain democracy.
