Petition · past parliament

The British people want a general election and an end to fixed term parliaments.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Our vote in the referendum represented a vote of no confidence not only in the prime minister and the Conservative party but the whole, corrupt government.
This should trigger a general election and proves that fixed term parliaments are undemocratic.
