Mandatory e-petitioning in England

[Michael Allan]

Thomas has taken an interest in petitions.  I just learned that all
local councils in England will soon be required to introduce
e-petitioning: http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/7jFvGVxfBPfpLCkFMWQfhZ

Opportunity for us?  They have poor detection of sock puppets, for
example.  They seem to depend on central, clerical oversight:

Be nice to open it up with common petitioner registration, tight
lists, and signature mirroring across sites.  The use cases are
similar to public voting (I agree with Thomas).
