Petitions

How effective are petitions? Well some people think they are useful while others feel that they are a complete waste of time. Below there are a few petition sites where you can start your own petition or sign others. These sites are very popular and cover a whole range of issues, some of which may interest you whilst others may seem totally menial. Apart from the UK Prime Minister's site, I cannot confirm the validity of the sites although they do look genuine but as usual take the usual precautions if you are asked for any personal details. I have yet to establish what the legalities are with petitions and what the legal obligations are when one is delivered. However, the more concise and reasonable petitions will usually make the company or body targetted give a response even if it is one refusing to do anything. However, sometimes letting companies know that there are major objections may make some listen.
