Rejected petition All petitions on this site that reach over 1,000,000 must be put to a referendum

A bill should be passed whereby any petition on the official parliament.uk website that reaches 1,000,000 signatures must be put to a referendum for the nation to decide to help our country become more democratic.

More details

There have been too many petitions signed by millions on this site over the last few years that have simply been ignored by politicians outside of a response that they have no interest in fulfilling our requests. To blatantly deny the will of the nation, especially on matters not listed in the ruling party's manifesto, is simply undemocratic. This would take a big step towards making governance more inline with the real will of the people.
