Rejected petition abolish e-petitions

More details

Abolish e-petitions because, as Monday 24th October showed, there is no point in having them, and they are just a travesty of democracy. If a petition on leaving the EU resulted in a vote in the House of Commons, and the vote was not a free vote, then there is absolutely no point in having e-petitions.

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.
