However, note that the impact of the petition is largely because it is at the top of the Number 10 site. So, I had to restrict to topics that would have enough support to reach the top, in a reasonable time. Some "better" topics would not do this. Also, many suggestions I have been sent for better petitions do in fact already exist on the Number 10 site, but were not even noticed by the people who support them.

Yet again Labour are not sticking to their promises. When they started the petition website they promised to provide a governmental response to all petitions with over 200 signatures, have they replied to this one - no! Whilst I understand the motives behind such a petition, I do find it unfortunate that it makes a personal attack on Gordon Brown and that it does not ask for an opportunity to utilise our democratic right of a General Election. Perhaps we should petition for a snap GE? Either way, it appears we only have one more year of Labour, and I think that's a satisfying state of affairs. What a success. 38 000 signitures so far.
