Petition Allow people to vote "for" or "against" parliamentary e-petitions

There is no count of the opposing view in the existing e-petition system. This can be used to dismiss any petition outcome, because the level of opposition is unknown. Allowing people who oppose a petition to vote against it could give petitions more weight and attract more democratic interest.

More details

This would make petitions more similar to votes in Parliament, where MPs can vote for or against a decision.

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.
