I got an email about an e-petition objecting to the alleged use of public money to fund the government's referendum campaign. So I had a look, and noticed that "Petitions that get 100,000 signatures will be considered for debate in Parliament."
So I thought well what's the point of that? They only have to "consider" debating it? Meaning, I suppose, if they don't think they'll come out of a debate smelling of roses then it won't happen.
So I've drafted an e-petition to change the rules (and yes I do see the irony).
For the petition to go live I need five supporters. If you're intrigued enough, PM me and I'll send you a link.
Cheers.
