More Signatures Needed

There's an epetition to Parliament for the UK to withdraw from the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees. The Prime Minister has no intention of leaving the Convention, but more signatures could result in a Parliamentary debate on the matter.... Over 8o million people in war zones around the world have the legal right to live in the UK. Leaving the Convention would end this right. But it wouldn't end refugee status in the UK, which would then become a concession (instead of a "right"). The current elaborate asylum system involving many lawyers and translators and endless appeals would be dismantled. Such a system was not necessary when former Prime Minister David Cameron determined that 20,000 Syrian refugees be allowed to settle in these islands, following the death of a small boy in the Aegean.
