Rejected petition Lower Fuel Prices
More details
This government needs to lower the price of fuel to help the growth of the economy and so people can afford to travel to work and avoid recession.
High fuel prices means higher costs for businesses, which means higher costs for consumers which leads to recession and more people out of work because they cannot afford to travel to work, which means higher amount of benefits being paid out by the government.
