Rejected petition Implement Ration Books, give everyone a fair chance to get groceries.

Rejected on 24 March 2020

Trying to get hold anything to make a meal, essentials like bread and milk, non-prescription medicines, cleaning products is near on impossible. Shopping online is also impossible; either no slots or nothing available. We cannot continue like this and despite the stores rationing, it’s not helping.

The government should issue ration books to the entire country and each member of your household should be given a daily/weekly allowance and each family should be bound by their rations. It’s the only sensible way of making this work. It will also help with social distancing that people aren’t currently adhering to in their panic to over-buy.
