A while ago I started getting involved in the Stop Killing Games campaign. I signed the petition. I wrote on my blog. I started writing up a report and I was hoping I could send to my MP to explain my position on the issue. Now, an election has been called. The UK government will soon shut down it’s entire democratic output until the result is called.
A side effect of the election is that all petitions currently open get closed. They won’t be re-opened afterwards. No responses to open petitions will be given. In effect, the slate is wiped clean.
I can understand that during a pre-election time and for some time post election while the new government is forming, it does not make sense for the government to engage with their petitioning platform, and indeed there are rules about non-interference. But I find it incredibly insulting to all the people who hold views bound up in the petitions to simply discard them once this process is complete.
The Stop Killing Games petition is incredibly important from a view of Digital Consumer Rights. An issue which I seriously doubt any of the electable political parties are going to bother mentioning, even as a footnote deep within their manifestos. Action such as petitions is one of the most effective ways to get these views across.
The DCMS previously failed to engage appropriately and was instructed to issue a new response. Unless they have an incredibly quick turnaround in the upcoming days, it is now highly likely this will not happen, and the current petition campaign will be consigned to history.
I am venting here because I find it immensely irritating to be teased with what looks like democratic engagement only to have it taken away from me after putting effort into it. The same holds true for the thousands of other campaigns that people had started. At time of writing there are 1415 open petitions that should still be accepting signatures, 9 petitions waiting for an initial response from government (not counting petitions needing additional responses), and 2 petitions that should be set for debate.
If I happen to come across any politicians during this campaign I will be challenging them on this, and I would encourage everyone else in the UK to do the same. Just because politicians leave their jobs and government gets wiped clean does not mean that everyone else’s priorities disappear.
Die #Verwaltung muss ihre Prozesse digitalisieren, um den #Bürger*innen besseren #Service zu bieten, aber vor allem, damit sie überhaupt noch arbeitsfähig ist.
Ich bin Fan von digitalen Lösungen. ABER: Unsere Angebote müssen sich nach Menschen richten, nicht andersherum. Daher unterstütze ich die @digitalcourage#Petition gegen jeglichen #Digitalzwang !!
2024 ist ein „Superwahljahr“: Neben der Europawahl, stehen drei Landtagswahlen und deutschlandweit mehrere Kommunalwahlen an. Neben Wahlen gibt es aber noch weitere Möglichkeiten, sich in einer #Demokratie einzubringen, z.B. indem man an Demonstrationen teilnimmt, sich lokal engagiert – oder eine #Petition startet.
Habt ihr schon mal für eine Petition unterschrieben? Oder sogar selbst eine gestartet? Berichtet uns gerne von euren Erfahrungen in den Kommentaren.
Remember the petition about "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" & the response saying "Those selling games must comply with UK consumer law. They must provide clear information and allow continued access to games if sold on the understanding that they will remain playable indefinitely."
Well the Petitions Committee has stepped in and say it did not respond directly to the petitiion request
The legitimacy and composition of the US Supreme Court can be challenged by bills submitted and passed by Congress. It might not happen right away, but it is time to insist on such actions. Here's one:
The United States is the only major constitutional democracy on Earth that allows lifetime tenure for judges on its highest court.
A bill in Congress, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act, would institute term limits of 18 years for Supreme Court justices.
Do not ban transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards
The Health Secretary has said that transgender hospital patients in England may be banned from being treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act of 2010. It cannot go ahead.
