Title: Stick one on Gordon - Sign the Petition
Post by: D P Dance on October 10, 2007, 02:37:39 PM
On PMQs today, where Callmedave rubbished him, Bottler claimed that no-one in the counrty wanted a General Election at present as only 28 people had signed a petition to that effect on the Downing Street website.

If you think that a thousand, ten thousand, or even ten million signatures on an on-line petition will prise Gordon Brown's fingers off the levers of power you are an even bigger fool than I thought.

Given there are 290,000 members of the Conservative party, 1,000 signatures by tea-time is a bit pathetic.

The petitions website can be made to say whatever the government wants it to say. If 100,000 people sign this petition by - say - March, and Brown calls a spring General Election, he can claim he is "in touch" with the common voter and make capital from it. If he ends up with egg on his face, he can simply accuse the Tory party of mobilising its 290,000 members, or dismiss the whole petition by comparing it to some of the other frivolous shite on there. That whole Number 10 petitions website is simply an illusion of consultation, an attempt to stifle genuine dissent while picking up a few pointers about the public mood. If we play along with it, we simply make Brown's job easier.

Out of 60 million in the country at least half of whom, according to the government, have access to the internet. Hardly a resounding response is it?
