It would also be helpful if Mr Blair and the New Labour party actually managed to produce accurate figures to atempt to bolster their claims. eg, 26,000,000 vehicles on the roads, codswallop, garbage and other less acceptable discriptive words. According to government figures, there are aproximately 56, million people living in the British Isles, on the government figures this would equate to roughly 2 and a bit persons per vehicle. Not withstanding all those persons who do not own and drive vehicles, and all those persons who CANNOT own and drive vehicles, Babies, criminals in prison, Blind people, and a hell of a lot of poor people. Quite frankly, Mr Blair or which ever of his minions that may read this, you people need to realise that one day, maybe in the not to distant future, the British population could just contract the ‘FRENCH’ way of doing things and screw the government into the ground.

Just remember the people put you in power and can just as easily VOTE you out for a long time

I doubt if this is in your control but I think it would be much better if people could register support against a petition as well as in favour of it. This may move away from the conventional petition concept, but it would make responses to petitions much more interesting and therefore more impactful. (You could then highlight most controversial petitions (i.e. petition attracting highest level of citizen interest for or against) and separately most supported petition (on a net basis)). What do you and others think? Would this be an improvement?
