The People Demand to Dissolve Parliament for a General Election to be held

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Our current Parliament is paralysed by opposing opinions regarding Brexit preventing new legislation from being debated. In order for the UK to move on, a General Election must be held so that the People can Vote for a new Government and end the uncertainty.
25 days after a successful Motion to Dissolve Parliament a General Election must be held.
