What the petition asks

So, if you too are sick of that dreaded Monday morning coming round too quickly, you know what you need to do.
So, if you too are sick of that dreaded Monday morning coming round too quickly, you know what you need to do.
There are numerous other countries where it has been proven that with this kind of system people are more productive... as well as most importantly much happier!
