I genuinely think that Parliament petitions were designed as fake democracy to make people feel listened to. Signing the petition makes people feel like they have Done Something and Been Heard, so they don’t do anything else. By the time the “government says no” email comes out, they’ve forgotten

100% agree with you. It’s so perfect for it, it’s like something Vetinari would come up with in Discworld.

I learned about politics from Discworld, Yes (Prime) Minster and The Thick Of It.

My opinion is - if I don't sign, I'm complacently agreeing to the bad thing.
