What the petition asks

During the election of 7th of may 2015 the conservative party wrote into it's manifesto a whole host of promises that they have subsequently failed to uphold. Examples include going ahead with reforms to child tax credits, which thankfully was blocked by the House of Lords.
Other examples include... Promising; not to cut front line service, not to have more top down NHS renegotiations, not to get rid of education maintenance allowance, not to meddle with sure smart, not to cut green investment, to honouring the freedom of information act, to reduce the national deficit and debt as promised and so on… We, the public, call upon government to put into action an emergency re-run of the general election
