What the petition asks

The country is in turmoil due to the current state of parliament.
The Government no longer have a majority, Parliament is clearly unable to cut the deadlock, it is time we put it to the people.
A general election must be called.
Since the vote to make leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement an illegal act, the Government has called for a vote of no confidence so that a general election can be called. Even though the Government no longer has a majority, the opposing Parliament has refused to allow this.
Parliament no longer have a mandate from the electorate. A General election must be call to allow the electorate to instruct the Government on their wants for our country.
