Making it up

A week ago I attempted to create a petition on the new petitions site. It was rejected for having party political wording in it.

I reworded it, and today I’ve been told it’s been rejected as it overlaps with another petition live on the site.

Now, can you tell me whether this:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: ‘accept that
the population has lost confidence in this government and
resign.’

Following the latest misgivings about the home office and
illegal immigrants, the crisis at Northern Rock, the fiasco at
HMRC with lost data disks and the current misgivings over the
government’s compliance with the Political Parties, Elections
and Referendum Act 2000, it’s time for the prime minister to
accept that the only way for confidence to be restored in the
political system is for him to resign and allow a general
election.

is the same as this:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Resign.
for his blatant failure to protect the citizens of England,by allowing the scum of the earth to enter this country,without any basic i.d and background checks,compromising security.This will increasingly be at the cost of more lives lost,from criminals and terrorists activities.I call on the whole inept Scottish government to go now,and allow England to be governed by the English before we become the worlds dustbin

I don’t think it is, and I won’t be signing up to the live petition. I’ve mailed in to complain as well, but I daresay that that won’t get me anywhere at all.

Wonder if I could get this published in a newspaper somewhere, or is the slow suffocation of democracy no longer newsworthy?
