    Tories and Labour are both in favour. Reform say they aren't but I think that's just populism, not policy. Lib Dems are against overreach, but don't seem to have been clear if they think the OSA is overreach.

    Are we down to 30 other seats?

    I wonder how reform will weigh in

    Reform will like it. They're probably already planning on how they'll leverage it further if and when they get into power. Any dissent they show will be purely performative and not hold any substance to help sway the decision towards repealing it.

    Both parties have wanted something like this for years and the general public doesn't give a fuck. All of these petitions get the response of "Nah fuck off lol" but this one has even less chance of going anywhere

    Unfortunately, the petitions sub exists in order to divert justified and righteous anger into clicktivism. Your MP's inbox, however, is open.

    I think the act has merits, there's just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.
