What the petition asks
The government is put in power by the people for the people. On such a controversial issue such as coronavirus measures, the government cannot take the freedom of the UK population away without consulting with them first. A referendum would let the people decide what is in their best interests.
Government lockdowns have stolen the freedom of the nation.
The economy is destroyed, businesses are closing and people are losing their jobs.
The nations mental and physical health are suffering, and NHS services are not being fulfilled.
The true effects are yet to be felt and with the pandemic potentially lasting until late 2021. The people have to have a say on whether we want this to continue, and before any further measures are brought in.
