They don't really need to do that. The last time I saw the UK parliment petition website being talked about, it was over the snoopers charter. The website said "Any petition that reaches 100k signatures will be debated in parliment", and the "repeal the snoopers charter" petition hit 100k within a day or two of opening and kept going up. The parliament responded by updating the wording on the website to say "any petition that hits 100k will be /considered/ for debate in parliament" and then released a statement saying "we've considered it, but we've already passed it so no". I've never heard of a petition on a topic of any substance on one of these petition websites achieving anything. It's a PR stunt, the British public should consider blockading the entrance to all british airports with those trucks that are going to be stuck at the border instead.
