Change the adversarial system of parliament to collaboration and cooperation.

What the petition asks

With the ever burgeoning desire for the populace to become aware, debate & make clear their opinions on all issues, new mechanisms are overdue for development to enable voters to participate more directly in Government. People feel disconnected from government and this needs to be corrected.

Historically it was practical and effective to have a select educated few to govern the country. New technology, societal development and issue awareness can mean voters can be rationally called on to participate more directly and effectively in Government. Current Politicians talk about "a mandate" to enact policies, whereas all voters want is more statesmanship, conscience and action predicated on an understanding of their custodianship of a precious trust given to them by the people.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you'd like Parliament to work differently, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like Parliament to do.
