 In contrast to the undemocratic image of the EU portrayed by 
referendum campaigners, it is a little known fact that every single 
citizen of the European Union can directly petition the European 
Parliament and be heard. There is no minimum signatory requirement and 
every petition will be responded to. The following petition is therefore being sent directly to the EU
 Chairman of the Petitions Committee, and is also being filed through 
the European Parliament petitions portal, where you can express 
additional support.
