Background
Some issues repeatedly gain huge public support, often over 1 million signatures, yet only receive the standard response or debate without real progress. This shows sustained national concern. Parliament should not ignore repeated public pressure at this scale. A clear escalation mechanism would strengthen democracy, ensure public voices are respected, and provide a meaningful way for citizens to influence major issues.
