Rejected petition Petition to abolish e-petitions

More details

We, the undersigned, believe that the e-petition system should be abolished. Following the decision of the three main parties to establish a three line whip on the EU referendum e-petition, we believe that these e-petitions are a complete waste of time (as any issue raised may be subject to parliamentary whipping rules)
