We demand that a General Election be held as soon as possible

What the petition asks

The aftermath of the Leave vote in the recent EU Referendum shows a total collapse of both the Conservative and Labour parties to the point where we can no longer feel confident that our representatives are able, or indeed willing, to represent the people of their constituencies.
Following the defeat of the Government and Labour backed Remain Campaign, we now see an almost total collapse of both main parties with some MPs even demanding that the will of the people be ignored.
The paralysis caused is not good for our country and, at such a crucial stage in our history, is likely to have a disastrous effect on the outcome of the negotiations with Brussels.
We need to start again with a clean sheet to get the best for a free and independent Britain.
