Announce and hold a general election in September.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to hold a general election in September. This election would allow all registered British Citizens to vote regardless of whether they have lived abroad for more than 15years.

The current government has been shown that it is unable to govern in a crisis and the Prime Minister is not to be seen for important government meetings or briefings.
