I can see that there are some Petitions which have been only endorsed by a few people or a few hundred or even a few thousand signatures. Sadly these are unable to obtain a response from the Government if it is less than 10,000 and for most of them if they get less than 100,000 signatures they won’t be discussed by the Government. So clearly we must increase their support in our communities!

The e-Petitions were emerged from 2006 by the Government and so far there are a total of 48,650 e-Petitions that have been created. What is very disturbing is that there have only been 173 (0.3%) that have achieved 100,000 signatures and there are currently only 894 (1.8%) that have achieved 10,000 signatures. So we clearly need to find ways to get credible petitions to be adopted in the future.
