Background
E-petitions amplify voices but fail - Do not introduce Digital ID cards has 2.7M signatures vs privacy risks; Government dismisses it and PM pushes ahead.
Repeal Online Safety Act has 547K vs invasive rules; rejected Jul 28 and PM pushes ahead.
This platform erodes trust (14% trust pols). Petitions represent 99% engaged users - not "2% population." Dismissing petitions based on UK population and not engaged users is a misrepresentation.
We the people demand public debates on issues we raise!
