Online Petition Numbers to remove politician?

driverl

HI Guys,

I got the info i needed for the most part, so my question is now this, how many signatures would be required before notice would be taken & can gov be compelled to take action based on online petitions?


Thank You,

Victor

Online petitions aren't worth the paper they are written on.

No, there is no such mechanism.

Based on the article, she is repaying AIB.

HI Guys,

Could i ask, if i wanted to create an online petition that people can sign, one that can be passed to the Irish Government, asking for the removal of a politician, how would i go about it?

I mean what is the best site to use, and how many signatures are required before action has to be taken or is this even possible?

Thanks Guys.

Can you come back to us when you figure out how to deal with the recurrent topping of elections by Michael Lowry.

As for Regina, she is paying back her debts, so can I ask you to also perhaps instead cast your eyes to the same problem with deputy Barbie and his Vat woes.

But maybe first think this through.

I don't want to debate the merits of this here, just find out how to set it up please?

In that case:

- don't express your opinions on public forums
- don't ask questions on public forums
- and above all else don't start petitions where you'd be expected to explain yourself

And you'll be grand

HI jimmycrackcorm, many agree Michael lowry is a foul creature & a perfect example of irish politics.

The Revenue/Aib outrage is not the only driving factor many people desire this outcome.

I do appreciate your post, thanks.

The simple answer is you can't. First of all you're talking about usurping the Democratic will expressed in elections. E.g. Lowry tops the poll every election, so let's start an online poll to have him removed, only to get reelected. Rinse and repeat.

Secondly online polls ignore the inability of a significant number of people, particularly elderly, to express their wishes.

I am going to close this as this isn't what this forum is for.
