Thursday Thirteen : gaming the outcome
So lets set up a petition to ask people if they want to pay more for something they already take for granted. Then lets give a running total of how many new people have added their names during the countdown to the last day. Oh, and why not get someone famous to send a 'personal' response to everyone that signs up?
But bored with that one?
Here's a few more that are current and that fill my Thursday Thirteen!
1 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Create a Cornish Bank Holiday on 5th March to commemorate St Piran’s Day
2 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to bring back the Radio 4 UK theme
3 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow the Piccadilly line to stop at Turnham Green tube station
4 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to reduce the need for office-based workers to commute to work each day
5 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to enter Ultimate Frisbee in to the 2012 olympics
6 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Align our clocks with Central European Time
7 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Bring Back Concorde
8We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Encourage MPs to try living on £100 a week
9 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop Roadworks In Lowestoft
10 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop proposed restrictions regarding photography in public places.
11 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop duplicate petitions
12 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Pass Legislation to make cold calling illegal.
and I thought this was particularly interesting...
13 We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Repeal or modify EC Regulation 785/2004 in order to exempt historical aircraft such as Sally-B B17G from new minimum insurance requirements
Of course, a fuller look at the list will show that there are petitions for many worthy subjects, although quite a few seem to have less than 500 signatures.
