I mean 122,000 out of 60 million isn’t a lot.

Could likely get 5 million to say banning people based on colour is a good idea, but I don’t agree.

Only need 500 (out of 40mil) + one MP sign off for the government to legally have to respond in Canada. They don't have to say yes but they have to officially acknowledge you at least. I was pretty surprised by how low that threshold is.

It's only like 10k here too, but the response is always "we have no plans to change anything"

why are you including infants amd people without the right to vote in your figure?

there's less than 48mill who can vote btw

That's not the point. The point of this post is that the government didn't respond.

I read that as the governments response was no. Not that they didn’t respond.

The government in the UK will respond if 10,000 signatures and will debate in parliament if 100,000 signatures.

So they're going to debate it then because it's definitely over 100,000.

That ain’t a real petition bro. We don’t use comic sans on government sites.
