A recent online petition in UK against road pricing made the government think very hard. As a result the almost 2 million signatories each received an email from President Tony Blair explaining how he couldn't really think of anything better (well, something like that). It also made them realise that 2 million votes could be the difference between winning and losing the next election!
It also made a number of Labour politicians regret setting up the online petition system!
