Referendum on whether to continue the ‘lockdown’ system in response to Covid.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Have a vote on whether Covid restrictions should continue or we accept the risk and return society to normal without enforced restrictions.
The people deserve a choice on the matter. The economy and livelihoods of many have or will be destroyed. There is a risk of increased mortality amongst the vulnerable in society, we can continue to shield and protect those most at risk.
