Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Call an immediate General Election so that the public can confirm if the current Conservative government has a mandate from the public to continue to govern.
The current Conservative government is incapable of governing the country. Plagued by in flighting and division, they are unable to elect a leader who can unify the party and take advantage of the parliamentary majority won in 2019. The current Prime Minster has managed to destabilise the economy during her very short tenure. The markets and public need certainty and consensus on direction which the current government cannot achieve. The damage to our country and economy needs to stop now.
