What the petition asks
Remove the statue of Oliver Cromwell in front of Parliament in London and put it in a museum.
The statue itself is not of that time being only erected (controversially) in 1899. Cromwell should be studied and remembered, but not be on a pedestal in such a prominent position outside the heart of our democracy.
