In Finland if the citizens collect at least 50,000 signatures Parliament must consider the issue (though they may not approve it). So the "I Do" campaign collected signatures to force Parliament to take up marriage equality. They got 50,000 in one day last March. They have currently over 162,000 with the deadline this Thursday. They have already collected more signatures than any other citizen-backed initiative. Considering the whole country has only 5.4 million people this is an impressive campaign. So I think Parliament will be busy.
