I think they are lazy democracy and discredited following the road 
pricing petition.

You would think someone in Downing Street would vet them. I'm sure I 
could put up a petition saying "I think the PM should make it Christmas 
every day."

I think lots of people writing/faxing a reasoned argument (and not all 
identical) to lots of MP's and MEP's would be better. My ten cents..

Does the Open Source movement have trained advocates, or lobbyists to 
puts its viewpoints across to Government, representatives? I guarantee 
M$ have.
