What the petition asks
2020 signifies 75 years since the allies accepted the German surrender after 6 years of war. Many gave their lives for our commonwealth. Rather than a change of day, there should be a 4 day weekend for us to commemorate this (taking into account the extra day given for the Royal Wedding in 2011)
