The result is mixed: The final petition can easily be put together by including the statements that were approved by the forum members (more than half of the proposals) and by rejecting the rest.

But the results of the survey of all DEMOS users are highly problematic. Only a minority of DEMOS users support the demands, and the number of users is growing (citizens as well as many politicians) with a number becoming active as they hear what is going on in the family card forum.

These users did not participate in the intensive debates that have produced the results, they only started thinking about the issue when they were polled. Now, many of the opponents who had left the forum due to lack of interest are back calling for the government to respect the needs of car drivers etc.

They are using all the DEMOS features to raise support against the forum's petition which originally was to be handed over to HVV officials in a few days' time.
