Do you mind providing an update, if you get an answer?

In general I agree to use official tools first, but we need to pause before our dismissal bursts out. As in another recent case neither the parliarment nor the commission is being adressed.

If you ask me it is remarkable, that this time a fairly (prominent) individual started the petition, not the party that he is a member of. I can only imagine that Damian himself or Volt hopes for broader acceptance and signages by acting disguised? This would be the more positive than another thought in which they are lacking communication and cooperation skills.

Both quite often strongly underscoring their european mind and approach, but fail to use way better alternatives for the selected platform. Probably to reach more people who know it already and because the user base is bigger over there.

In this context my guess is intellectual property.

They can, but in my opinion, the omnipresence of AI in the minds of the responsible officials must be put aside first.

I suggest joining or forming alliances and support the campaigns of experienced NGOs.

Edit: An example is Public Money, Public Code by the Free Software Foundation Europe.

This is ridiculous and quite sad. Volt, the people behind this initiative, quite often strongly underscoring their european mind and approach, but fail to use the official tools for their petition.

They could address the commission and the parliament. Hint one and two.

Edit: Okay, fair enough, they try to influence the European Council. As far as I know this institution has no official interface where citizens can interfere.

I appreciate your answer, but I posted some follow-up questions here to maintain overview. Maybe you like to post over there to enlighten me further.

Has the King any role in this? Either by law or because of his own mind? I mean he is one of UK’s biggest influencers, no?

Besides some media coverage what follows? Also what about the person(s) who submitted this petition? Will they be included in the process, for example by being invited to present the cause? And are there moments in history where petitions made an actual difference already during this official act or right after it (e.g. some MP or the Government changed their mind surprisingly)?

I am not familiar with the political system of the UK at all, but am very interested what kind of consequences and official stuff are to be expected during and after the debate? Is anyone here having fun elaborating? Thanks.
