Declare a national emergency and call an election.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Brexit uncertainty and faith in democracy is at an all time low.
No party has a majority in Parliament and things are now gridlocked.
Out reputation as a Democratic nation and the sovereignty of the Crown is at stake.
Individuals and businesses cannot bear any more uncertainty.
Procrastination and subversion is harming our Union and impacting on the livelihoods of millions.

We need a government with a mandate to be decisive.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you're concerned about the UK leaving the EU but we're not sure what you want to happen in relation to Brexit by calling a national emergency. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.

There's already a petition about a general election which you might like to sign. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
