Just in case you haven't seen it.

I am not making a judgement on this petition, just a generalisation on
the whole principle. How would you feel about going to the poles and
only being able to vote for party X? Why, when a petition is opened is
there not one of the exact opposite, so that the feeling of those
against can be judged as well? For example I believe there was one to
bring back hunting, fine, but why not, at the same time, one to keep the
hunting ban? I should say that I have voted on these petitions, and am
also pro hunting. Ducks (head, not pro hunting ducks). :-)

It's up to individuals to start these email petitions, so anyone can do just
as you suggest.
If you look at the list of petitions currently on that site, you will see
that someone has started one anti the Trump development of a golf course in
Scotland and another person has started one pro that development.
The petitions on that site aren't controlled or started by the government.
You could start one asking support for e.g. Lawn mowing to be allowed only
on Sundays between 11am and 4pm and I could start one asking for lawn mowing
to be banned during those hours. ;-))
