This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Declare a vote of no confidence in the Government & call for a General Election.
The EU Referendum has ripped apart our main political parties leaving Parliament incapacitated when reassuring the British public & negotiating with the EU should be the priority.
A vote of no confidence in the current Government & a Parliamentary vote on an snap General Election is essential.
More details
The Fixed Term Parliament Act offers two ways to trigger an election; via a no-confidence motion or if 2/3's of members of the House of Commons vote for one.
MP's have misled voters, campaigned without clear manifestos & compromised Nations with an ill thought out ballot resulting in a failure of politics.
Voters need a new start.
Also if a pro-Remain party won the election, it may supersede the Referendum.
The Referendum would be a democratic mandate, replaced by a new democratic mandate.
