Ｐetitions

Petitions have long been a part of British political life. Anyone who wanted to change

something would get a list of signatures from people who agreed to the idea and either send them

to the government or deliver them personally to the Prime Minister's house in London.

They are always accepted at the door by one of the PM'S officials. What happens then?

Nothing much, usually. But petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those who

govern to find out what the people really think.

That's why the UK government launched its "e. petition" site in November 2006. Instead of

physically collecting signatures, all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on

the government website, and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signature.

The petitions soon started to flow in. The idea was for the British people to express their

constructive ideas. Many chose instead to express their sense of humor.

One petitioner called on Tony Blair to “stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much”.

Another wanted to expel（驱逐）Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fans

never support England In the World Cup.

Other petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchy. Some wanted to give

it more power. Some wanted to oppose the United States. Others wanted to leave the European

Union. Some wanted to send more troops to lraq and others wanted them all brought home. Some

wanted to adopt the euro（欧元）. Others wanted to keep the pound.

Yet if some petitions are not serious, others present a direct challenge to government policy.

A petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already

drawn around l8 million signatures. In response to that, a rival petition has been posted in support

of road pricing. And that is also rapidly growing.

There are about 60 million people in Britain. So it is understandable that the government

wants to find out what people are thinking. But the problem with the e-petition site seems to be

that the British people have about 70 million opinions, and want the Prime Minister to hear all of

them. Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while.
