What the petition asks
I would like the Government or House of Commons to enable members of the public to create online polls for public vote, for example on policy and the actions of Special Advisers and Ministers. This would allow the public to express a view on topical issues.
Members of the public should be able to create timely, impromptu online polls regarding current events in order for the public to democratically express their feelings on the actions of Special Advisers, Ministers and on policies.
Such a system would allow a member of the public to register and pose a question. Other members of the public could then support or oppose the question. The current status of support for (or opposition to) a question could be used to demonstrate public opinion.
