Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Reform petition system. After 100,000 signatures Parliment MUST debate issue!

It's all well & good government responding with their own opinions on issues after 10,000 signatures.

After 100,000 signatures government MUST agree to debate an issue,
not CONSIDER debating.

Government shouldn't be able to pick & choose issues to be debated that don't line their opinions.

More details

Having signed numourus petitions myself, I've received emails from the government stating they don't believe the issue is credible.

The replies often completely disregarding the concerns raised in a petition & ilastrating their own reasons & opinions why things are so. Not that of the concerned people who have taken the time to sign the petition.

Debating every petition that reaches 100,000 signature would allow for those signed to gain better understanding from those who represent them.
