CALL A SNAP GENERAL ELECTION IN 2017.

Rejected 19 signatures

The UK has voted to leave the European Union, leaving us more divided than ever. The conservatives have shifted further to the right and we have a Prime Minister that NOBODY voted for! Give the people a real choice in how our future is shaped.

Call a snap general election now that the UK have voted to leave the EU
