Nothing much，usuallyBut petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those who govern to find out what the people really thinkThats why the UK government Launched its“epetition”site in November Instead of physically collecting signatures，all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on the government website，and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signatureThe petitions soon started to flow inThe idea was for the British people to express their constructive ideasMany chose instead to express their sense of humorone petitioner called on Tony Blair to stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating SO much”Another wanted to expel(驱逐)Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fast never support England in the World Cupother petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchySome wanted to give it more powerSome wanted to oppose the United Statesothers wanted to leave the European UnionSome wanted to send more troops to Iraq and others wanted them all brought homeSome wanted to adopt the Euro(欧元)Others wanted to keep the poundYet if some petitions are not serious。others present a direct challenge to government policyA petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already drawn around 18 million signatures1n response to that，a rival petition has been posted in support of road pricingAnd that is also rapidly growingThere are about 60 million people in BritainSo it is understandable that the government wants to find out what people are thinkingBut the problem with the e-petition site seems to be that the British people have about 70 million opinions，and want the Prime Minister to hear all of themPerhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to lust shut up for a while16.
