What the petition asks
To gain a closer truth of democracy in our nation, we must give the people the power to call a general election if they feel that one is necessary.
Many people feel that having only 0.3% of the UK's population vote for the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, puts our country's democracy to shame. While the people may have (barely) voted for Theresa May's conservative party in the most recent general election, they absolutely did not vote for Boris Johnson's conservative party which has clearly contrasting ideals to Ms May's.
