A nation run by the majority is bound to be a happier, more exciting place to live. We hear politicians constantly proclaiming 'change', yet this is 'change' according to them rather than the majority on many given issues. That citizens can now get their hands into the machinery of governance without chopping them off should come as a welcome relief to all who have grown weary of hearing 'My party stands for change!'


MajoritySay Petitions


Deposits

Let's say you have a burning issue you think will be supported by others. You can pay a deposit of £1,000 and post your petition on the Downing Street website. Deposits may be used to deter fly-by-night initiatives and go to a worthy cause - for instance, to fund MajoritySay education programs around the country to make citizens aware of their true democratic rights. 


Gaining sign-ups

Active petitions may be covered in the national media according to interest. Petitions can be linked through to your website, giving visitors further information on your initiative so they can decide whether to participate. You can champion your MP in the usual way to gain support for your cause. Media too can take the gloves off on an issue they feel strongly about. Companies can seek national support for a policy and post a petition the same way.


Local government

MajoritySay can be used to decide local (shire) initiatives too:


  • Mobile phone masts on schools
  • A 450-foot wind turbine erected in an area of outstanding natural beauty
  • An international lorry park proposed near you as a 'gateway' to the Continent

Take a look at 'The Problems we Face' section above and confirm local government does not always act in your best interests! What fairer way to sort out regional problems than let the majority decide?
