General election now! Truss hasn't got a clue - let the people decide. Now!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Truss rushed through ill-thought out tax reforms after the period of mourning, some of which, there's been a U-turn on. She blamed her equally incompetent chancellor. She hasn't got a clue what she's doing. Nobody voted for her.
Put it to the vote.
General election NOW!
Current government is unfit for purpose.
Unelected amateurs, which is being kind.
Even the Tory membership had her as an also-ran until it became her or Sunak.
Nobody in the UK wants an idiot as PM.
