asbie .,I have no idea how these petitions work.,and who starts and how they are initiated/activated ., Do you have any idea asbie?? the problem may be in the petition itself...and the way it is worded
At 10,000 signatures, government will respond to this petition
At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament
So, it seems like there's not really much of a guarantee of action even if a petition is "successful". Rather like whitehouse.gov then. Shame.
