#e-petition

A couple of years ago in 2021 I submitted a e-petition that was a clear call for funding from the Government for FareShare and Food Banks and other similar agencies. Tragically I only managed to obtain 3,469 signatures. I have just checked out how many other petitions there are that cover the same theme. Tragically there are only 10 significant e-petitions that cover the theme that have similar…

Today the ‘e-petition 700005 relating to the UK joining the European Union’ has been arranged by Paul Davies the Labour MP for Colne Valley, London. It was created by Robert McMaster in October 2024 which achieves 133,000 signatures in the UK. In Sussex the largest areas of support are Brighton and Hove and followed by Lewes, Hastings and Rye. Brighton Pavilion ward is the largest in the whole of…

The public e-Petition system was closed down at the end of May by the former Conservative Government. In the image shown stated and a contact on Find out more on the in this states: Your petitions and the 2024 General Election: The General Election means that the petitions website and all petitions closed on Thursday 30 May. Those petitions will not reopen after the election. Why is the…

I can see that there are some Petitions which have been only endorsed by a few people and indeed many of them are unable to achieve 10,000 and 100,000 signatures. So how can we make them more significant? The e-Petitions were emerged from 2006 by the Government and so far there are 48,650 Petitions that have been created. So far there have been 173 that achieved 100,000 signatures and there are…

Just over 7 weeks ago I wrote a blog entitled “Significant requests for us to Call a General Election” which was focused on a petition which is entitled “Call an immediate general election” listed as 641904 and submitted by David Nash. His petition can be obtained from here and the text is below. He submitted it on the 4th August and 12 days later when I spotted it, it had 41 signatures which I…

I have just spotted this e-petition that was submitted by a person called Nalini Thakur. It was created back on the 3rd August so it it is nearly 2 months old and yet sadly it only has 90 signatures so far. If it is to be identified by the Government it needs at least 10,000 signatures and ideally 100,000 but there is only 4 more months for that to be achieved. Currently in Sussex there are only…

Back at the beginning of June a 638449 e-petiton was published by Christina Harris which is very significant. In the first month it had reached 10,000 signatures, and then in the second month it reached 16,000 signatures, and then on the third month it reached 21,000 signatures and it has now provided more than 78,000 signatures so it has raised 31,000 signatures in the last month. Providing that…
