I submitted a similar petition, but the moderators at the 10 Downing Street website chose this one instead:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to call on the Iranian government to have a re-election.
If we in the West truly stand for democracy and want to see it take root in the Middle East, this is the moment when it matters - when action should be taken. We have a clear and obvious popular resistance, that has had its democratic voice silenced and is still, in the face of government violence, making itself heard. If this is not a time to say, "This is what we stand for", then what is?

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
