This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Enable ranking and searching of e-petitions by number of votes
More details
This e-petition site at the moment makes it difficult to build support for any specific proposals because the search terms usually provide hundreds of possible similar petitions in no particular order. By enabling any search to be ranked by number of existing votes, the most popular petition in that category, if it meets the wishes of the searcher, will more quickly build greater support and receive parliamentary discussion. This site should enable searching and ranking of petitions by number of existing votes.
