        I’m assimung someone who goes around to tell people “stop signing petitions” feels smugly superior? That should be pretty self evident.

        Or are you thinking I meant “people who sign petitions are the ones who feel smugly superior” because that’s the exact opposite.

      I just told you the exact process that happens.

      Thes petitions are designed for the illusion of participation for us subjects

        Petitions inform people about issues and serve as a good staging ground for grassroots protests.

          There is that argument i guess. But this is the 2nd or 3rd pettition I have see on this subject. I signed the last ones. The responce from the government was something along the lines of its not our place to tell businesses what to do.

          Out of all petitions I have signed and I know it comes off that I’m bored of the inaction (because I am) i do sign the ones that pique my interest in and have yet to see one that produced a different outcome tgat I outlined which includes 1 or 2 that breached 7 digits worth of signatures.

              The performance i have seen from that new government is a change in name only

              Wee after thought Edit. If they gave a shit they could have turned up to the “debate” when they were in opposition. It’s the literally same people
