Call a general election immediately
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The current government was elected pre-COVID, pre the fuel, cost of living & economic crisis. Too much has taken place since then for this government to be said to be representing the will of the people, further evidenced by the recent resignation of Liz Truss. A general election should be called.
To continue without a general election makes a mockery of democracy.
