Rejected petition Making sure multiple e-petitions on same subject are combined

More details

Looking through the list of e-petitions I see many are on the same subject, e.g. capital punishment, HGV overtaking bans to name but two.

The fact that many people are starting petitions on the same subject must highlight these as significant issues.

I propose that someone makes sure that e-petitions on the same subject are merged together.

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.

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.
