Call a general election due to the public not having confidence in sitting MPs

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to parliaments manner and attitude towards the brexit referendum result. Questioning if the UK is still a democracy. And questioning if seats were won due to manifestos that have not been kept too.
The blatant misleading on the Labour and conservative manifestos to up hold the brexit referendum result if they gained power.
