    I signed it but I have zero hope that it’ll do anything. Has there ever been a case where these petitions have changed the law?

      It usually triggers a half empty debate.

      Gets a couple headlines.

      Maybe becomes something in the back of the head of some MPs.

      But yeah, pretty rare that they just see a petition and straight up codify it into law.

      They’re too busy starving disabled people to death…
