Have you ever seen them ‘debate’ a petition? Those debates are either 1) tiny 2) clown shows 3) miss the point entirely 4) “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong”.
Yes, but all petitions of this kind are meaningless. If they could actually do anything they wouldn’t exist in the first place. The major issue is that PMs can appoint their pals to the Lords as a quid pro quo and that won’t change without major reforms, let alone a petition. I don’t like Boris, but the system has been rigged long before he became PM.
If a petition is not on https://petition.parliament.uk then it is definitely worthless, in my opinion.
If a petition is on https://petition.parliament.uk then at least there is a small chance of a parliamentary debate.
