its real
if your a british citisen[ie member of the commonwealth sign the ones you agree on
the petition link links up to other petitions
govt takes numbers seriously
they really need our input
what is wrong with the site is that petitions should be in the form of a survey that we rate the proposal by simple point and click
but hear is an ear get going
get behind petitioning the changes we all need to be thinking about
the tax free for alternate energy vehicles is a good start ,get the numbers up and get change 3/4 of the worlds citizens are in of from the commonwealth.
put your change into the system

It is completely real, but there is no obligation whatsoever for the Government to pay any attention to it.
If they get a petition signed by 60 million people, they can still ignore it.

It's real! But I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!! If you do, wait and see how long it takes for every government department to start taking a closer look at you!
Are you on benefits? Are you paying child maintenance? Are you getting reduced council tax? Are your taxes paid and due up to date? You might even find that that new widened carriageway of that motorway near you is now going to come through your garden!!!
Big brother is here - thanks to 'New Labour' and this is just another way for them to find out who doesn't support them!

Probably real. Question is, it for the purpose intended, or just another Labour con?? They will probably have someone gathering information,ready for the next election. They then announce that they will do this,that and the other,making the public think..................what a great Government we have,and collect votes!!!!! Cynical? Why should I believe them....................
lies,spin,lies spin!!!!!

It's real, but the amount of personal information they demand of you in order to START a petition is dodgy.
