COVID - 19 Create a Cross Party Cabinet of National Unity to address the virus

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The physical, mental and social health of our nation is at severe risk we need to draw on the resources of all our politicians and community leaders, not try to score political points against one another. Think together, work together, unite our country and we will come through this.
We want a cross party cabinet and cross party working groups to be set up to address the challenges that arise from the COVID 19 pandemic e.g. to manage the transmission of the virus, whilst balancing the life opportunities for all affected both direct and indirect, to manage current and future health care, unemployment, eviction, and potential social unrest to name but a few issues. Work together politically is what this petitions asks, set aside political divide and UNITE.
