Call a General Election

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the handing over of power to The leader of the opposition last night over Brexit, we the people have no faith in our government and therefore demand a General Election takes place immediately.
In 2017 we did not vote Jeremy Corbyn as our deputy Prime Minister and we object to him being treated as such. The Brexit betrayal was completed last night with such an act by the PM.
Not only has she shown contempt for the 17.4 million people but also for her cabinet by going against the majority in seeking a long extension to Article 50.

We will not let this absurdity continue any longer. A GE must be held so that we can sort out the mess May has put us in.
