Rejected petition Scrap e-petitions until we have democratic government

More details

The successful e-petition demanding a referendum on EU membership was a sham. An undemocratic 3 line whip was used to prevent democracy and will be used again - this whole expensive procedure is a charade.

Also the website direct.gov.uk should be renamed as it breaches advertising standards.

About petition data

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.
