I agree that the petition cannot trigger an election, but all these new MPs may realise that their political careers may be over in 4 years time. If there are sufficient signatures some MPs may find better career options and trigger by elections. A few by elections and millions of signatures could be the push needed for policy u-turns. I live in hope.
Not sure about this even though it's obviously equivalent ot asking for a repeat Brexit reff a month after the first one. I live in Israel. I was sure Netanyahu had gotten totally oblvious to the weekly protests on the hostages and poll after poll. A rock solid majority in the Knesset at least in regard to the hostage issue. Elections not due till 2926, Let them all waste their Saturday evenings (and at least give some comfort to the families).. But then came thse reckless Jewish Chronice and Bild leaks just to try to influence that impotent public opinion.. Politicians even savy experienced ones seem to take fright at mere shadows and perhaps even more so at novilities.
