Rejected petition Close Down HM Government e-petition site

More details

The recent petition and subsequent debate and "vote" in the House of Commons on the referendum on the EU, has clearly shown that this site is of no value and the wishes of the British public are being ignored by the present government.
Even if we get sufficient signatures to force a "debate" the "House" will do as it pleases and deny the public their wishes.
I move to have this site closed down as any “debate” forced will not result in the wishes of the signatories being carried out.

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.

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.
