Both major parties have descended in to viscious in-fighting which is against the national interest. ","additional_details":"In order for Great Britain to succeed in its negociations with the EU to ensure a smooth exit from the EU, the government needs a renewed mandate from the electorate. Since 75% of MP's have declared their support for the EU and the British people voted by a majority the opposite, Parliament no longer represents the people. Therefore it is imperative that a General Election is held as soon as possible. The circumstances of this petition are extraordinary and of great importance to the nation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2016-07-01T13:58:18.981Z","updated_at":"2017-09-09T06:17:23.139Z","rejected_at":"2016-07-11T15:12:35.880Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":null,"response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/133675"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
