What the petition asks
An online petition was submitted demanding the resignation of PM Keir Starmer. (1) It has reached over 300,000 signatures. Given the rate at which it is gathering signatures this matter should be debated in parliament.
After the resignations of Boris Johnson & Liz Truss Labour demanded a general election. It is only right that should PM Starmer be forced to resign we have a general election.
