Rejected petition: Get rid of the petitions site

Rejected on

The petitions site has always been an ignored 'democratic' tool, where petitions with millions of signatures are shunned out without any consideration from the Government.
It is insulting to lie to citizens about their ability to influence policy, and this site should therefore be removed.


Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:

Shut down the UK Government and Parliament Petitions system

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
