Clarkson for PM, attacks on police dogs: Do Parliament petitions make a difference?

Since its launch, the Parliament website's petitions have ranged from serious political appeals to comical campaigns, such as one calling for Jeremy Clarkson to become Prime Minister. Despite some humorous petitions slipping through, e-petitions have led to significant changes like Finn's Law, inspired by a petition advocating for police dogs' protection. While some question the impact of petitions, the system bridges the public with Parliament and allows for direct engagement in democracy, shaping the political agenda in the UK.
