We want a General Election before the Government initiates Article 50.

What the petition asks

We agree to the PM’s appeal that we should all ‘come together’ after all, we are supposed to be the UK and not a divisive little England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

We have been fed with lies, and propaganda by various parties and media. It is time to get our country’s act together!
Whether it was the result of the PM and her government or not, it is obvious that the country is suffering from, NHS chaos; the fluctuating value of the £ Sterling; the increase in ‘borrowed’ public money; increasing racial ill-feeling against foreign EU workers & immigrants; increasing import costs (particularly food and fuel); strikes & increases of public transport and the public fears & confusion of our future. We need a genuine majority for an election & not a first past the post system.
