Call a General Election in October 2019.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With an unelected Prime Minister, and now dozens of MP's currently Independent or representing political parties that they were not elected to represent, our House of Commons has become increasingly, and is now completely, unrepresentative of the wishes of the British electorate.
Therefore, a General Election should be called, so that the British public may have it's political concerns ably represented in the House of Commons, regardless of where they stand on the Brexit issue. A General Election is the only way to resolve our current political deadlock.
