General election now – and always call one if a PM is replaced

Open for signatures 11,476 signatures

What the petition asks

In July 2024, Sir Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister. His Government introduced measures that weren't in the Labour Party's manifesto and he has resigned. We want an election now. If any PM resigns, their successor should have a mandate from the people and call an immediate General Election.
We believe many people have lost confidence in the current Government, that we were misled, and we cannot go on like this for a further 3 years. It is time for action.

We believe the Government has failed to defend our borders from the small boats, and illegal immigration is out of control. We have no confidence in the way this Government has acted. In our view, pensioners and farmers have been betrayed by policies that were not included in Labour's manifesto.

We also feel that rape gang survivors have been badly let down. Justice delayed is Justice denied. Dissolve Parliament. General Election now!
