Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Stop Minting 1p & 2p Coins (It's a waste of money!)

More details

Minting 1p & 2p coins is a waste of money, they cost more to make than the metal they are made of.

Nothing costs this little anymore and some people throw these coins away. They are useless and pointless.

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.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
