Rejected petition Change E-Petitions to allow people to sign against proposals

More details

I love the idea of E-Petitions but when I see petitions like bringing back the death penalty, I would like to sign against it. I understand this is not a voting system but just having signatures for the proposal is a little one sided.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.

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.
