What the petition asks
Due to the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, agree to a General Election in 6 months time (when we will now leave the EU). After spending 3 years with our focus on nothing but Brexit, we need a new mandate from every political party, as we have a new PM, on what there policies & strategies are on all
the other issues our country and wider society is facing. Three months before the undersigned‘s proposed General Election, all parties that are standing for election Could hold leadership contests (a suggestion) & then agree on their parties positions, principles & 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
