The e-Petition system is available to enable everyone to raise appeals to the Government
If 10,000 people respond the Government prepares a document n response to the question or appeal
If there are 100,000 responses, the MPs debate the e Petitions in Parliament.
Back in May 2024, before the general election, the Conservatives closed down the opportunity for e Petitions.
However, the Labour Government finally arranged for them to open for it at the end of the October week and the first three items were approved on Thursday 30th October. The opportunity of the new e-petitions can be seen https://petition.parliament.uk/ The most significant e-Petition on Thursday is the “Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible” which can be seen here. Another three were approved on Friday 1st November and there will be many more in the future.
Here is the opportunity for us to start a petition for the future below and also the piece I published on the beginning of August calling for it was here
Towards at the end of November of Thursday 21st I wrote a focus on new e-petitions and at that time “Introduce 16 as the minimum age for children to have social media” was taking with just over 100,000 signatures but since then on the following of Monday 25th November I spotted that two other new e-petitions which are “Don’t change inheritance tax relief for working farms” which has gone to just over 100,000 signatures and also that the “Call a General Election” which is very recent and yet they have achieved with over 2.6 Million e-petitions that has been very significant. These 3 items are currently beyond 100,000 early this week of 25th November.
