Demolition or removal of public monuments by electoral support only.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop rioters and others taking the law into their own hands, by requiring local (town) consent for local figures and national consent for national heroes.

The silent majority is deeply disturbed by the feral lawlessness which is on display. Failure to act against them is undermining our liberal democracy. A simple majority on a 30 per cent turn out would suffic; and electronic participation would save cost. Identification by electoral roll or driving licence numbers.
