Rejected petition Change e-petitions so that you can sign multiple petitions in one & introduce a ‘sign against'

More details

Change e-petitions so that you can sign multiple petitions at once & introduce a ‘sign against;

Wouldn’t it be great if you could mark any number of petitions, add in your details once and sign all of them at the same time? When you get your confirmation e-mail, all signatures would be confirmed with a single action.

It would increase the amount of participation significantly.

I also recommend that e-petitions not only have a signature ‘FOR’, but also ‘AGAINST’. This would allow citizens the ability to vote down a motion, just like they do in the Houses of Parliament. It would take away the need to create a separate petition that directly opposes the first.

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
