Petition · past parliament

The people request Her Majesty The Queen to exercise power of Royal Prerogative.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

In extreme circumstances the monarch can dissolve Parliament single-handedly, on the condition "an occasion has arisen which there is fair reason the opinion of the House is not the opinion of the electors. Dissolution is necessary, whenever the wishes are different from the wishes of the nation.
