[Air-l] Petition Tony Blair, online that is

[Ildiko Kaposi]

Wainer,

What's the reason for your disbelief? 

I took only a cursory glance at the sight, so I'm not well-informed.
First of all, I don't know what the online petitioning implies exactly,
i.e. whether there are any obligatory consequences for the Right Hon.
Blair or government policy. But online petitioning as such is practised
elsewhere, and e-democracy has been something of a priority for the UK
government, so this seems to fit the pattern.
Am I misreading the initiative?

Still rubbing my eyes in disbelief

Any thoughts, anyone?
