We the people demand that the Conservative Party call a General Election in 2022

What the petition asks
The nation has zero confidence in Liz Truss and this Conservative government. The government has almost ruined the nation through thoughtlessly offering the richest minority of our nation massive tax cuts, causing the devaluation of the pound, and seriously harming the mortgage market.
I want Liz Truss to call a General Election. This is because of both her own and her predecessors, inability to lead the nation. Please, out of respect for the British people, call an election. We face a winter of discontent with no contingency provision for energy scarcity. The government will inevitably seek to cut public spending during this most vulnerable time in our recent national history putting an already fragile NHS and social care system at risk of total collapse
