The spelling sorts itself out once the machinery of government starts turning. The fact that the first guy to think of using the Downing Street site couldn't spell is just a sign of the times.
The fact that we all know what it's about despite the bad spelling but some will choose not to sign over how it's worded is why it will not to get 100000. Reminds me of the Life of Brian "Popular Peoples Party for the Liberation of Palestine! **** off, we're the Peoples Popular Party.... "

The debate is not guaranteed, they can and will weedle out of it.
The fact that the 1st guy to put up the petition did not have the sense to use a spell checker is a *worrying* sign of the times, he was probably more interested in being "the one" to launch the petition than what it was about.
And it is not a fact that every one knows what it is about, which is why it should be listed in he petition, like the OP did. That is why it will no get to 100,000.
When it times out, I hope MAG will be ready with a proper one.
And personally, I am more a fan of Group Actions for Motorbikes :-)
