Rejected petition The UK Government should abolish epetitions

More details

The UK Government's new epetition scheme is another attempt to make itself seem responsive to the concerns of, and somehow 'connected' to, the UK electorate. It is the latest product, therefore, of a disconnected political elite lacking its own vision and goals and determined to plough itself into yet more displacement activity. We should abolish this scheme and return to politics and politicians with vision and conviction.
