This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Make change.org petitions formally recognised by parliament.
Rejected on
The government currently only accept petitions through this website, however most petitions are held and popularised through change.org, these petitions are just as valid and must be formally recognised by parliament.
By not allowing change.org petitions to be debated in parliament the government is creating an illusion of democracy. So many people like myself believed change.org petitions to be up for debate in parliament, as long as they reached a certain number of signatures, these petitions are just as valid as those held on this website and they must be treated as such.
