What the petition asks

Agree to a General Election in 6 months time (when we will now leave the EU)

After spending three years with our focus on nothing but Brexit, we need a new mandate from every political party on what there policies and strategies are on all the other issues our country and wider society is facing.

Three months before the undersigned‘s proposed General Election, from 2nd August all parties that are standing for election to hold leadership contests, agree on their parties positions, principles and plans for our country and can then spend the remaining months campaigning.

2020 can be the start of a new year, a better proportionally represented Houses of Parliament and we can all work together for the future of our United Kingdom

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Parliament and Government aren't responsible for when and how political parties choose their leaders.
