Hold a general election, because there's no majority for anything.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Of the recent indicative votes and meaningful votes on both theresa mays deal and the other options presented, none have secured a majority. It is time to go back to the people and hold a general election, such that we can get moving again.
A general election is the only way we can start to see a majority return to any kind of decision. If this petition gets at least the normal percentage of the electorate that would vote in a GE, then goverment shouldn't just say - "Nah, because we said so" - like every other petition, hardly a democracy is it.
Id also like to vote with STV rather than FPTP to stop this horrendous two party system, but cant win them all.
