Call a general election in September this year

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We have a minority government, that has defied all common decency and caused the deaths of 150,000 people through its austerity measures. Defied UN reports that confirm these facts. And threaten more attacks on the poor and disabled.
Every newspaper and news programme has shown evidence of extreme poverty in this, the 5th richest in the world.
