I've posted to mysociety.org - do join in there as well! Curious - and I'd welcome comments - was the nature of this rejected petition off the No. 10 site: ---- We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to launch an independent review into the privatisation of the British railway network that considers whether it was the right thing to do. Submitted by Rajesh Joshi More details from petition creator More details cannot be shown Petition Rejected This petition has been rejected because: It contained party political material Additional information about this rejection: Sorry, your reference to Baroness Thatcher makes it difficult for us to accept this. If you could just remove the reference to her, then we are clear of party political issues. ----- I couldn't see any party political reference, and in any case why should that be a bar? After all, the electorla and legislative system is predicated on party politics. Doh! Or has something really deep and significant been overlooked? --- Wainer Lusoli <w.lusoli@lse.ac.uk> wrote:
Hi Tom - and others
As much as I like your stance on the whole petition issue, I think the question is ill posed: too many leads in one rhetorical, type II [negative answer] stem.
