Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about democracy in the UK, but we're not exactly sure what specific action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Democracy is under threat like never before. Technology is allowing nefarious individuals and groups to attack it in different ways. Too often, anti-democratic forces are able to sway opinions via opaque methods. The UK Govt needs to step up and face up to these iniquitous challenges.
