Editor's Notes
- Anybody got ePetitioning system? Reason why new UK parliament Road pricing 1.7 million Departments have no right to reply
- Numbers of e-petitions: 20 in 2005 30 each in 2006-2007 16 so far in 2008 Change could mean that in the past, the public contacted their councillor who helped to structure their epetition – now spending lots more time working with the public on phrasing/accuracy of the details
- 2 major councils (Bristol & Kingston upon Thames) Europetitions petitions in Westminster If 5% of voters sign a petition saying that they want an Elected Mayor, the Local Government Act 2000 requires the Local Authority to hold a referendum.E-petitons are starting to be used to gather support to try to trigger councils to act. With 15,000+ signatures still required, the recent Bristol Mayoral Referendum Campaign appears to have stalled. However, a new Mayoral Campaign in Swindon appears to be using a more ‘networked’ Web 2.0 approach with links in Facebook and in local blogs.
- small countries seem to use the facility disproportionately, and 8 countries are missing altogether: Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.
