No, because, as per the help page https://petition.parliament.uk/help https://petition.parliament.uk/help, only British citizens/UK residents are eligible to vote. No point undermining a legitimate process with illegitimate entries.

So... are the ISPs instructed to record only domestic connections? Or am I being surveilled too if I happen to connect to an ip address located in the UK? Or similarly, if a UK resident happens to connect to me?

  Technically this law covers logging at the ISP level for UK DSL and cable customers. However in reality, the UK is tapping all undersea cables coming into the UK (so basically almost all transatlantic ones), and logging everything. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secre.... This is done under the Tempora program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempora. So any connections into the UK are also being logged. This map gives you idea of the scale of connections coing through the UK: http://submarine-cable-map-2016.telegeography.com/ http://submarine-cable-map-2016.telegeography.com/ and this map shows the taps that have been discovered as part of the NSA Snowden leaks: http://lifewinning.com/submarine-cable-taps/ http://lifewinning.com/submarine-cable-taps/ (Source code: https://github.com/lifewinning/submarine-cable-taps https://github.com/lifewinning/submarine-cable-taps)

  It's irrelevant really in terms of the petition, as the site is a mechanism for British citizens to bring their concerns to the attention of parliament. I assume you would have to go down a different avenue to lodge your objections. Note that I agree with your sentiment, just that that is what the site is for!
