Are petitions worthwhile?
This campaign tip (no. 98) was published on Monday, 8th April 2019
Before you start a petition, consider carefully - why are you doing it? What do you want to achieve? It's quite a while since I see one up ... I have run very successful petitions but if you have a petition out there with just a handful of signatures on it, all sharing the same surname, it can be counter-productive.
Q: Why run a petition?
A: To get change
Not necessarily ...
A: To get publicity for the cause (but I know the petition won't actually make a difference in itself)
A: To give supporters something to sign / show them you're still active / rallying call
A: To help you understand your own case (may not even need to go live)
