Fascinating that e-petitions they will now be made available via local government. Also, from the Headstar article, it looks like the Scottish Parliament are offering a similar service. I guess the key is to develop a handling process which is open and transparent. A clear policy on what will happen to those receiving overwhelming support is a must. The worst thing would be to open up government to citizens and then not act or not respond at all. As I'm sure you must know from your time at Number 10, e-petitions can become unmanageable due to the sheer volume. Some way of categorising would be helpful. Also, guidance on how to word petitions effectively would be helpful. Opening the gates is easy but managing the flood.... just some thoughts on a fascinating topic. Dave, a very interesting piece.
