Rejected petition Petitions should provide a disagree option to help Parliament debate the issue.

Currently if one disagrees with a petition it is necessary to start another petition to register one's disagreement. Parliament then has to associate two or more independent petitions to judge wider opinion.

Providing a disagree option on the petition page would give Parliament more information.

More details

Petitions https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/178844 and https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928 directly complement each other. It would be helpful to people finding one and wanting to vote for the other if they were combined with agree/disagree options.

Parliament has decided to debate both on 2017-02-20.
