Rejected petition Abolish the pointlessness of e-petitions. It won't change anything.

More details

E-petitions - providing the illusion of democracy to the idiotic masses who can't be bothered to do something other than log on to the internet when they should be working. Providing pointless work to a web design company and wasting public money on what is essentially a sop to various newspapers, at least until it's realised nothing will change because of this whole gubbins.
