What the petition asks

Dissolve the Government to call a General Election based on a wide-array of issues than just the Brexit process.
As Boris Johnson's Government was elected primarily to 'Get Brexit Done', a new election should be declared due to the fact that Brexit's been taken care of however as CoVid's still an issue this would need to wait until that's been taken care of.
