Petition e-petition Reform

More details

I request that the e-petition service is reformed to ensure that they are given a fair chance of being seen by members of the public visiting the site.

I suggest that all new e-petitions should be lodged in a 'New Petitions' area on the site for (say) a minimum of 1-2 weeks. After this period the creator could be approached to see if they wish it to continue with the petition.

It is clear to me that most of the petitions created are so far down the page lists that few people will ever see them.

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.
