If they get 100K signatures they "should" debate the issue - and fuel prices has just hit that figure. We shall see if they do debate it, and if they take any notice.

Mind you the political "elite" (phrase (c)1997 T. Blair) in the UK are kind of removed from the pressures most people face, so I doubt any major action will take place.
