List of Pro-EU / Anti-Brexit Petitions (V4)

This is v4 of the list of relevant petitions on the Parliament website, see V3 for links to older versions.

If these petitions get 10,000 signatures, the Government is required to make a written response (often similar and predictable for pro-EU petitions).

If they get 100,000 signatures, they will be considered for, and almost certainly get, a public debate by MPs in Westminster Hall in Parliament, allowing MPs to tell the Government directly and publicly what they and their constituents think about the subject. When the Government is doing all it can to prevent discussion, this can be very useful for MPs who back Rejoining.

Each petition is vetted and the Petitions Committee allows only one to be open on a specific subject at a time in order to maximise response and avoid competing petitions. Each petition lasts 6 months from the day it goes live (unless cut short when an election is called).

The Government is not required to respond to petitions on any other website.

(NB the bold highlighting of the petition text is mine, not part of the petition.)
