Download or read book Debates on government e-petitions written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst the Government's initiative of e-petitions is welcome in principle, there have been some practical problems with its operation. In this report two areas which need urgent attention have been addressed, the time for debate and public understanding of the process.The Committee recommends that a dedicated time slot be created for debates on subjects that are raised by e-petitions and propose that this is an extra sitting in Westminster Hall between 4.30 and 7.30 pm on a Monday. This would only take place if the Backbench Business Committee had scheduled a debate on the subject of an e-petition. This change would be experimental and its effectiveness be reviewed after one year.Many of the problems experienced by the Backbench Business Committee and by petitioners have arisen from a failure on the part of the Government to adequately explain the process to petitioners. The Committee recommends that the information on the Government's website should be made clearer and more accurate. When a petition has been signed by 100,000 people, the lead petitioner should be advised to find an MP who is willing to apply to the Backbench Business Committee for time for debate

Download or read book Debates on Government E-petitions in Westminster Hall written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2012, the House agreed to allow debates on Government e-petitions to take place on Mondays in Westminster Hall, on a trial basis during the current session. Three debates have taken place during the session, with a fourth scheduled on the day of publication of this report (22 April 2013). The Government's e-petitions website continues to be popular, and a dedicated slot in Westminster Hall on Monday afternoon provides a clear end-point for the process. The Procedure Committee agrees with the Backbench Business Committee that the trial has been successful and recommends that the temporary changes to the Standing Orders be made permanent.
Book Synopsis Citizenship and Involvement in European Democracies by : Jan W. Van Deth
Download or read book Citizenship and Involvement in European Democracies written by Jan W. Van Deth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-02-12 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique study presents the results of a cross-national analysis of citizenship and participation among citizens in twelve European democracies. Research on the future and quality of contemporary democracy is usually restricted to focus either on political participation, on particular aspects of citizenship, or on social activities, exclusively. This new book offers the first empirical investigation of the relationships both between social and political involvement, and between ‘small-scale’ and ‘large-scale’ democracies. Citizenship and Involvement in European Democracies offers representative samples of the populations in a selection of European countries between 2000-2002, including: Denmark, Germany (East and West), Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The leading contributors provide new theoretical insights and offer a broad conceptualization of citizenship, stimulating the ongoing discussions about the problems and challenges of democratic political systems. This book has a companion volume entitled Social Capital and Associations in European Democracies edited by William A. Maloney and Sigrid Roßteutscher (Routledge, 2006). Both volumes will be of great interest to students and researchers of European politics, comparative politics and sociology.

Book excerpt: The public will be able to petition the House of Commons electronically for the first time, under proposals published by the House of Commons Procedure Committee today. The system the Committee puts forward is based on the existing Government e-petition site, redesigned and rebranded to show that it is jointly run between the House of Commons and the Government. Crucially, it will be backed by the establishment of a new Petitions Committee, which will be able to hear petitioners' concerns and scrutinise the Government's response. The Petitions Committee will consider both e-petitions and paper petitions presented under the existing procedures. When it identifies a petition meriting further action, it will be able to: correspond with petitioners on their petition; call petitioners for oral evidence; refer a petition to the relevant select committee; seek further information from the Government, orally or in writing, on the subject of a petition; and put forward petitions for debate in the House

Book Synopsis E-petitions by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee
Download or read book E-petitions written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report follows on from the Committee's report of May 2007, HC 513, session 2006-07 (ISBN 9780215034168). Both in that report and the Government's reply to it, support was expressed in principle for an e-petitioning system for the House of Commons. Historically it has always been seen as the right of every commoner to prepare and present petitions to the House of Commons in case of grievance and the House to receive and respond to them. The suggested scheme retains the direct involvement of constituency Members of Parliament in the petition procedure. It is proposed that: E-petitions are submitted via the Parliamentary website; if they comply with the House's rules, the petitioner's constituency MP will be asked to act as facilitator; the e-petition is then posted on the website for a set period - allowing others to add their name if they wish; at the end of the period, it is closed; it is then presented to the House; petitioners and signatories may opt in to receive updates; e-petitions will be printed in Hansard and sent to select committees and may be considered by them; the Government will normally be expected to reply within 2 months; on three occasions each year; certain e-petitions will be debated by the House of Commons in Westminster Hall. The Committee acknowledges that setting up an e-petitions scheme is not without risks. Its successful implementation will require new ways of working and novel forms of governance. However, e-petitioning is also seen as having the potential to open up proceedings and make a major contribution to the House's strategic objective to 'make itself more accessible, to make it easier for people to understand the work of the Parliament and do more to communicate its activity to the general public'

A Hugo Award-winning Novel! “Vinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.”-David Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence.
