Petition His Majesty the King: use Royal prerogative call for a General Election

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We respectfully petition His Majesty the King to:
Recognise this petition as a formal expression of public dissatisfaction.
Call for a General Election if this petition garners more than 9,708,716 signatures, representing the number of the electorate that voted Labour in the last election.
We, the undersigned, believe that the current Labour Government has failed to uphold its promises and is exercising powers in a manner detrimental to the nation’s well-being. This has undermined public trust and the democratic principles on which our nation is founded.

This petition must be allowed to run for the full six months in order to ensure ample opportunity for public engagement.

By signing this petition, we affirm our commitment to a stronger, more accountable democratic system.
