Rejected petition Shut Down The Petitions Website

If the Government will not listen to our voices when we try to make a noise about a decision that is disagreed with across the whole political spectrum, there is no point in keeping the Petitions website live.

More details

The government has shown plainly and very clearly that they do not care about what the citizens and constituents of their nation really want (See: Online Safety Act and Digital ID Cards). Keeping the petitions website live is a cruel way for the government to spit in the faces of the people they are meant to serve and continue down their ignorant paths.

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.
