We want a General Election before we leave the EU

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The situation surrounding Brexit has got to a point when only a government with a majority vote and thus mandate can deliver the rightful outcome. This government doesn't have one and thus we, the nation, should have the chance to vote and make our voice heard before we leave the EU.
Each party will need to publish their manifesto so the public can now make a final and informed decision.
