You got a problem with a democratically elected government?

What do you hope to achieve?

Do you think an easily ignored petition will force a change of government?

You’re wasting your time but hey, knock yourselves out. I mean nothing worries a sitting government more than lazy fkwits putting their name to a petition hoping it’ll change things.
Yip. There are elections and there are petitions. Only one of them is likely to change the government. The other’s likely linked to a site with adverts.

I have not seen this petition so could be wrong.

Liking the French sheep burner comment, that’s a proper protest. fking petition lol. I’m well aware of how often the previous government ignored promises about petitions when the numbers didn’t suit them.

Cracks me up, the ones sharing it on facebook are the same ones saying 6m people who signed the petition to stop brexit should suck it up as democracy has spoken.

Strap in for 5 years boys.

The petition and some right wingers reactions to the result of this general election is hilariously pathetic.

It is, almost as pathetic as the left wing reaction to Trump winning, hilarious.

No, we’re talking about petitions but you’re too busy throwing squirrels around to notice.

Guess you signed?

Why does anyone think a petition will make slightest bit of difference? They have such a large majority that it doesn’t matter if 30 million people sign it they aren’t going to vote to throw themselves out! Plus what difference will it make if we have a change of government they’re all crap at the job and on the whole all out for themselves. Different pigs same trough.

I’m not happy that we’ve got these clowns in charge but we’ve just had a democratic election and they won by a landslide. Is this a new democracy where if we don’t agree with the results we don’t respect or accept it? It was the same after Brexit with the idiots (some still) calling for another referendum! Surely being in a democracy means you respect the vote of the majority even if you don’t agree with them?

So we’re at 1.6m or thereabouts.

Obviously they couldn’t give a st about farmers despite the outcry as the petition to reverse that has only 70k signatures or the Winter fuel payments for the oldies as that only has 30k so they either don’t give a st about democracy unless it goes in their favour when it’s the most important thing in the world or they’re too thick to scroll down a bit and sign something that is directly affecting people they claim to care so much about.

What do you think the story will be? "Angry snowflakes make a big fuss about democracy when their side didn't win"?

Why would the BBC report on you signing a pointless online petition ?

Someone on a WhatsApp group claimed it was the biggest response to a petition in history when it reached one million signatures.
I pointed out the reverse Brexit one was six times that and nothing happened.
He failed to reply…
17.4m voted to leave though.

TX.

How was the reaction when he lost 4 years ago?
But he won this time, the left lost and now they're all threatening to leave the country in protest, just like last time, only they didn't did they.
