I support reopening the playground, but the petition also demands the council leader resign

The clipboard reached me while I was holding a bag of oranges. I said, "Yes, definitely," when my neighbour asked whether I wanted the playground reopened. Then I read the second paragraph.

The petition asks for the reopening and the council leader's resignation. I know the locked gate has been a nuisance. I don't know enough about the leader's responsibility to sign the second demand. My neighbour says the two belong together: someone should answer for the closure.

I asked whether I could sign for the playground only. She said there wasn't a separate column, and crossing anything out would make the sheet messy. Another neighbour had already signed and joked that I was suddenly very fond of politicians.

I'm not. I just don't want my name used to support a demand I haven't considered. I also don't want to lose the chance to make the playground problem visible. Is declining this petition and sending my own reopening request a reasonable response, or am I avoiding the accountability question because it's uncomfortable?
