What the petition asks
Parliament takes the will of the people too lightly. Our current system undervalues direct democracy.

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
If you would like the Government or Parliament to take a specific action when a petition reaches 400,000 signatures, you could start a petition asking for that.
