Rejected petition Ban E-petitions Now!

More details

We wish to register an e-petition that seeks to ban e-petitions, which we regard as futile PR exercises used by a cynical government as a way of camouflaging their draconian policies under the pretence of listening to and reacting to the the concerns of the general public. E-petitions are in fact counter-democratic, offering a sop to single issue fanatics and self-regarding obsessives whilst ignoring or criminalising legitimate protest.

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.
