Rejected petition Should be able to vote down e-petitions as well as up

More details

It should be possible to vote down any e-petitions as well as up.

Currently if anyone raises an e-petition that you don't agree with, you have to raise another 'negative' e-petition for people to support.

The responsible Government department should amend the e-petition site to allow this.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
