Call a General Election for January 2023

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hold a general election in January 2023 or as soon as is otherwise practical.
The people of the Uk did not vote for Liz Truss or her policies. The world has changed beyond recognition since the last general election with entirely different short and long term problems to deal with. The public MUST be given the power to choose who is best to lead the country. The current policies of the government have the potential for irrevocable damage which must be prevented through public scrutiny.
