Rejected petition Option to sign against E-petitions

More details

I would like you to add the ability for people to indicate that they do not support a particular petition. Currently the only way to do this is not to sign but this does not capture the public view since 90% of people may disagree and their view is not captured.
With this amendment, the enhanced petition would give a clearer view of public feeling and would avoid extreme views from seeming to have broad support.
The presentation to parliament over 100K could then be a mean after negative votes were removed.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.

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.
