Mandate debates for petitions over 100k signatures, starting with Digital ID
Background
Amend Standing Orders to mandate full debates for e-petitions over 100,000 signatures within 6 months of closing. Hold in main chamber or Westminster Hall; require ministerial attendance and substantive responses. Apply immediately to Petition 730194 (Digital ID cards) to restore fair accountability
Additional details
E-petitions amplify voices but fail - Do not introduce Digital ID cards has 2.7M signatures vs privacy risks; Government dismisses it and PM pushes ahead. Repeal Online Safety Act has 547K vs invasive rules; rejected Jul 28 and PM pushes ahead. This platform erodes trust (14% trust pols). Petitions represent 99% engaged users - not "2% population." Dismissing petitions based on UK population and not engaged users is a misrepresentation. We the people demand public debates on issues we raise!
