How do Germany and France have a greater than 100% participation rate?

Edit: oh that just means they're above the required threshold already.

Yes, this graph is not clearly presented. It is not really beautiful.

The data it presents is kind of good, but the main message should be here to spread awareness and get more people to participate in that petition.

Curious that the richer (western) countries seem more enthusiastic about taxing the rich ...
