Petition allow comments and down-voting on e-petitions

More details

There are a number of e-petitions on this site that are laughable and stupid, or simply not viable. We, the public, should be allowed to comment up all e-petitions and to register a negative vote i.e. that we are opposed to the petition's proposal. Votes against should be subtracted from votes for when considering the proposal.
Permitting commenting would allow us to express an opposing view, or indeed a supporting view, and to give our reason for such a view - this would be in-line with increasing democracy and public consultation as is the governments expressed wont.

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.
