Donald Tusk is kind of "yeah... I would probably would... I bet he's quite kinky".

Normally I would report this sort of stuff to a moderator.

All the mods are guilt ridden, repressed (ex?) Catholics.

Can't you try any harder to convert him?

I am a Protestant atheist, and not up for being converted.

Oh look, another e-mail, so they are going to debate the petition after all.

I haven't got that one yet.

But it's good news. If they won't even discuss in parliament the most supported petition ever, then it's time to take down the site and stop pretending.

Yes, I know they won't change anything, but to completely ignore 6 million people while mouthing platitudes about the will of the people would be ..... Oh, yeah, business as usual.

They were always going to debate the petition, even if the Government weren't going to change their minds about Article 50.

At present the debate is listed for Westminter Hall - the question is whether it ends up being moved to the Commons Chamber.

As far as I can tell, they didn't have to and I have received similar emails on petitions that reached the 100,000 threshold they didn't bother to debate.

I was considering if they should change the rules and compell themselves to debate any petition that got greater than X signatures. But then I realised, people are mean, and we would soon see a petition that hit that threshold that was something like this (which really was on the Whitehouse website for a few days, though they blocked it from registering any actual votes)



but even without a rule, I hope they always debate anything that gets more than (say) 1 million signatures.

I've had the email 3 times.

[Joan]

I've had the email 3 times.

Mine has finally arrived.

[Iris]

I've had the email 3 times.

How long before the Leaver conspiracy claims start?

I haven't had the email at all, and it's not in spam either. It looks as if the parliamentary petition website is as ramshackle as parliament.
