Rejected petition Discuss all petitions posed to government, regardless of platform created on

Discuss all petitions posed to government regardless of whether these are created through the government website or other petitioning websites or platforms. The names signed on other websites are just as representative of public concern as those on the government website.

More details

MP Reece Mogg recently explained that a petition signed by over a quarter of a million brits was thrown out of government on the basis that it hadn't been through the government website. However, the website the petition was on (change.org) follows the same screening process as the parliament website. Under parliamentary procedure petitions signed by 10,000 people will get a response from the government, with those signed by more than 100,000 people considered for debate in parliament.

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.
