Firstly, I'm really impressed by the idea, and think it would be an excellent way to have public feedback - if this had existed during washup, would the digital economy bill (now act) have passed?
But I have a few reservations - no. 10 has had a petition part of their website for years now - the problem was that any ideas that didn't fit with the government's ideas already were ignored.
I think your second statement does a nice job of counter-acting your first.
Maybe I'm cynical, but this looks like a pretty shallow publicity ploy. I'd love to see some real change come from this (or sites like this), but I'd be shocked if it actually happened.
