Rejected petition E-petitions to have an option to sign AGAINST the position of the petition

More details

Petitions are an excellent way to express the views of those who agree with the idea being expressed by the petition.

The views of those opposed however do not have the opportunity to register their opposition, and therefore participate democratically in what is being proposed.

We therefore requests that each petition includes an option to oppose the proposition and give a truer indication of the public's opinions.
