On the second action plan the key risk involves being misunderstood by the Member of Parliament whom the group intents to petition to forward the request to the parliament for consideration. The member has to understand the objective of the group clearly before being asked to present the petition to the house on behaves of the group. This will also help when other members of the parliament starts interrogating the petition to see if it has something tangible that can be discussed on the floor of the house.
