What the petition asks
Having another General Election by the end of the year gives the government 3 months after this petition ending to hold another and to settle the countries confidence in them as a Political Party.
Given the countless attempts to protest against austerity, and votes of no confidence towards Jeremy Hunt and David Cameron, plus the public backlash against the March 2016 budget, another election will follow the democratic process that George Osborne has said himself on the Today Show on Radio 4 (17/03/16) "If the public has no confidence in their government, they can chuck them out. That's the great thing about a democracy".
