Closed petition Reform e-petitions - votes at 500k, no word limits, immediate publication
Closed on
Implement a new parliamentary petitions process that:
- requires a vote in the House of Commons on the request of petitions with over 500k signatures
- removes limits on the length of petitions
- publishes petitions immediately.
Only petitions containing offensive content should be removed.
We believe the current petitions process is flawed because it does not result in MPs voting on the request of a petition. Debates are usually held once 100k signatures are reached but these rarely result in change.
Character limits in the current process can make it difficult to articulate what action you want the Government to take. I believe the majority of mine have been rejected on these grounds.
