I appreciate your answer, but I posted some follow-up questions here to maintain overview. Maybe you like to post over there to enlighten me further.

Has the King any role in this? Either by law or because of his own mind? I mean he is one of UK’s biggest influencers, no?

Besides some media coverage what follows? Also what about the person(s) who submitted this petition? Will they be included in the process, for example by being invited to present the cause? And are there moments in history where petitions made an actual difference already during this official act or right after it (e.g. some MP or the Government changed their mind surprisingly)?

I am not familiar with the political system of the UK at all, but am very interested what kind of consequences and official stuff are to be expected during and after the debate? Is anyone here having fun elaborating? Thanks.

Probably Fairphone (from the Netherlands) and Shiftphone (from Germany), but that surely depends on how you define production.

Europe should cultivate more hemp (again).
