Does Petitioning Work? Read the following and decide. 38 Degrees Logo Dear Cornell, Fantastic news: the Government has scrapped its plans to sell off the Land Registry. [1] Over 100,000 38 Degrees members signed the petition to save the Land Registry - and together we helped push the government to back down. [2] Taken aback by the sheer number of people against their plans - from ordinary people, to trade unions and civil servants - government sources admitted it would have been “just too complicated” to get a law through to make this happen. [3] James, the 38 Degrees member who started the petition to stop the privatisation of the Land Registry on Campaigns by You says: The response from 38 Degrees members to the campaign has been fantastic. The Government’s response is a sign of what people can achieve when we get together. The Government would need new legislation if they wanted to privatise the Land Registry - and that’s off the cards now until after the next election. So let’s all raise a glass to a job well done!”
