Petition

The Government should not impose the Net Zero agenda without a referendum.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should seek permission from the electorate, before heading down the net zero route and making everyone poorer.
The March to Net Zero is going to cost a huge amount of money for everyone but as usual it will be the less we'll off that suffer and impose a huge burden on the already hugely taxed British workers, yes we should do be cutting back on fossil fuels etc but this needs to be done in a more relaxed pace, we should not be setting deadlines and cutting our nose off to spite our face, why do we need to be the leader of the pack and make everyone poorer to get there?
