This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Abolish the e-petition initiative.
More details
The government should abolish the e-petition system
asap.
The parliamentry system we have with constituency MP`s should be made to function properly whereby
public concerns are taken by them to floor of the House,debated and appropriate action taken.
This e-petition system might will lead to government by referendum which in turn will produce incoherent and probably conflicting policies.
This populist initiative is dangerous and potentially damaging to our parliamentry system.
We should concentrate on making that system work and not undermining it with this seriously flawed process.
It should be scrapped now before it`s too late.
