Ban driven grouse shooting – 105,000 signatures

The Petitions Committee staff tell me that prorogation does not end this or other e-petitions so the there are a few days, or many days, left to sign this e-petion depending on how you think the debate on the timing of the general election will be resolved.

There’s a race on to be the highest-scoring constituency with Calder Valley coming up the list all the time and challenging Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey.

  1. North Herefordshire – Bill Wiggin MP (Con) – 237 signatories is missing from this list.

    1. James – apologies! It’s a large and nightmarish task to keep this list up to date! Probably a few other errors too but am happy to update.

  2. You’ve used the correct colour for Rosie Duffield in Canterbury but called her Conservative.

  3. What’s really striking about this map is that most of the highest scoring constituencies are ones where raptors are being persecuted.
    Not, as I’m sure the shooting community would like to try and claim, townies from far away interfering in their traditional (and bloodthirsty) way of life. Clearly they are living amongst a growing number who don’t like the wonderful raptors on their doorstep being constantly destroyed.
