If the spelling is incorrect how do you know it is the government,and not a scam to get all your details or am I being naive :-)

I think it's very likely a scam to get e mail addresses. If it was real, I think they might have had more than 61 replies :-)

In one of my previous lives, I was a proof reader for Government Office documents and they were very particular about spelling.

Its not a scam its where individuals have the right to post a propersition and if it recives 100,000 signatures it can be debated in the house of commons

you fill in you details and email they send you an email and you click on it any your votes registered

the spelling mistakes are from the guy who wrote the petion

weve had them on here before
