Rejected petition Hold an immediate general election after the conservative leader has been chosen
Hold an immediate general election once the conservative leader has been chosen. We need change, in the last general election there were rules broken and corners cut and above all only 66% of the electorate voted, lets take this chance to create a real democracy. For the people by the people.
More details
We are in a time of massive political and social change, we should be able to decide who we want leading us into this new era. Take this opportunity to create a real democracy, riding on the tides of change if we have an election now there will be a much higher percentage of the electorate voting and a much more democratic voting system in place in light of the recent conservative voting scandal. It must be immediate, no months of campaigning, no delaying, we want a new politics and fast.
