Has anybody ever heard of anything actually happening with these petitions? I am not completely sure but think it gets debated by a specific sub committee rather than what you imagine where its in the full house chamber. The transcripts will be available but in the end the response will be something like: checks and rules are already in place so we don't see any issue (but written out to a few hundred words)

    I think I've signed 2. One was about the Online "Safety" Act, which obviously had nothing happen off the back of it.

    The other was to do with political donations. This one as far as I can tell had a couple of things come from it:

    And even if nothing came from it, it was interesting to follow. It was a couple of years ago now but I think I recall they were talking about Russia's influence with Brexit.

    Sadly the corrupt are just going to find loopholes, like receiving a £5 million personal donation to pay for their security...
