Petition

Call a General Election. The country isn't being represented fairly or correctly

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The country isn't being represented fairly due to such a low voters turnout. If the current government is so confident in what it is doing, call an election and let more of eligible voters vote.
Due to such low turnout in voting, the country is not being represented correctly.. Call a General election before this country becomes more damaged, or embarrassed further on the world stage.
