Rejected petition PM to admit that this epetition system is a diversion tactic meant to give a false sense of direct democracy but will never lead to anything.

More details

A number of important epetitions have gone to through to backbench discussion stage yet all parties have ignored the electorate on at least one occasion.
One could almost think the electorate was wasting their time!

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.
