They need to rework them, far too often today's idiotic generation seem to be thinking that they can overcome Democracy by signing a (relatively low numbers) petition and as if by magic, the decision is overturned.
I'd make it a million+ votes & no guarantee of anything, it's bloody ridiculous a load of student union types can think they can circumnavigate democratic process by signing an online form.
Bah humbug and words of that ilk.
