the government have to respond to all petitions that reach 10k signatures and consider it for a debate at 100k

in fact one of our MP's requested an emergency debate about the US immigration policy

Not sure if there's a legal compulsion, but on the site it says:

quote:

Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures for a debate
Government responds to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures
It just hit 1.5 million a moment ago, which means it went up by 112,000 just in the time since I last posted :stare:

its only actual effect is making the government look stupid because they are trying to keep trump at arms length and bury their tongues in his arsehole at the same time and its not working very well

i guess trumps strategy (or bannons or whatever) is just to overwhelm everyone and everything: governments, the people, the media with a blitz of retarded poo poo that will eventually be struck down in courts but some of it will stick they just want to see what. it is like testing the waters so to speak

Trump is a p funny President. With most Presidents everyone is always worrying "oh, he was probably lying about his campaign promises. He said he would do certain things but now he will not. I am upset by this!"

But with Trump it's totally different. Now everyone is like "oh my God he wasn't lying about his campaign promises. He said he would do certain things and he's actually going to. I am upset our civilization is in peril!"

Even though he won.

Yeah they have to "respond" to it. Which in the case of the EU exit petition (4.1m signatures in favour of a second referendum), it meant they responded by saying "lol nope".

So I'm loling about Trump being president of the USA and then remembering that my own country voted to leave the biggest source of free movement and free trade we could ever have acces to and loling again.

"Hey we really need this new regulation, but we have to get rid of two regulations to implement it. Hmm let's get rid of these two regulations that seem to be outdated because they were implemented for a certain economical time but now do not benefit anyone."

Except instead of outdated regulations think regulation that Trump dislikes: e.g. the Dodd Frank act, the various regulations that were put in place to prevent his favourite forms of tax evasion, literally all environmental regulations and most labour regulations. Those are the things he has mentioned multiple times at least, but who knows, he might do something completely different to what he has promised and, in defiance of what all his previous behaviour would indict, start trimming regulation in a sensible, well planned manner.
