I hope that you can't take away someone's citizenship with a petition

Obviously the petition is to compel Parliament, or whoever is responsible, to take action to do so. I see this sentiment but I think it's misplaced. The petition is to bring it to the attention of politicians who typically have a blind spot on these things and may not understand or be aware of public sentiment.

There's no mechanism for a petition to do anything directly. But we all know that. I'm personally immediately suspicious of any attempts to create confusion on this issue. It seems to be disinformation.
