Rejected petition Stop pretending that citizens have any power by creating e-petitions and spend the money saved on something useful

More details

Why bother with this complete waste of time that purports to be a way of making individuals responisble for future debates in the House of Commons.

We need a Government to govern and not come up with pointless schemes like this that fuel column inches and allow fools to believe that they can influence policy through filing out an on-line form.
