One of the main things to remember when contemplating raising a government petition is to see the rules on the official website.
It is clearly stated that:
"Petitions which reach 100,000 signatures are almost always debated. But we may decide not to put a petition forward for debate if the issue has already been debated recently or there’s a debate scheduled for the near future.
Even providing that the rules are met then it is still very difficult to muster MP's interest . . . . . a classic example being the "debate" yesterday by MP's on the petition that received 137k signatures regarding the instant "walking away" from the EU.
Not a single MP spoke in favour . . . . .
I still fail to see what other measure might be contemplated, and have asked those connected on FB but as yet have not received any answers.
I will repeat however that I'd have personally preferred not to have seen the reintroduction of the Otter in our rivers without prior consultation with the anglers bodies and the riparian owners,
