What the petition asks
Form a Cross Party Government to enable a coherent response to the pandemic and guide the UK through it. When safe hold a General Election using Proportional Representation.
The UK has one of the world’s worst death rates, and the Government is using the pandemic to push through their policies - Brexit, NHS funding, Education, Employment etc. - which many citizens don't support.
A cross-party emergency Government should be established to respond to the pandemic, and then a general election should be held using PR. People should be able to vote for their preferred candidate - not second guess a tactical vote.
