Petition Reform e-petitions - referendum at 500k, no word limits, immediate publication

Implement a new parliamentary petitions process that:
- requires a referendum if 500k signatures are reached
- removes limits on the length of petitions
- publishes petitions immediately.

More details

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.

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.
