Form a cross party government to tackle Coronavirus and open a public inquiry

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

This is not a time for party political differences. The UK public deserves a coherent and united parliamentary response to Coronavirus.

The evolution of Coronavirus in the UK is a public health emergency. We need a public inquiry to examine the current government's questionable strategy.
As a nation there is one glaring issue facing us all. We do not need political point scoring at the moment. The current government has adopted a highly questionable strategy from the outset.

With each day that passes the current government strategy seems to be even more questionable. Dissolve the current government and form a cross party government to tackle this crisis and launch an immediate public inquiry into the actions undertaken by this government to tackle Coronavirus in the UK.
