Rejected petition Urgent Call for Immediate Public General Election

The UK is currently in a state of crisis. Families are struggling. And to be living like this in 2022 is unacceptable. It shouldn’t be down to the Conservatives to choose a new leader. The UK people should have the right to decide. So a full general election should be brought forward.

More details

The government is doing nothing to help those in financial crisis. Not everyone is being supported. The state of the country at this current time needs addressing and the current party in power is not helping the people of the UK. Therefor. A general election to be brought forward for the British people to decide whom should be in power. We need change and fast.

A General Election gives constituents the opportunity to vote for their local MP, but in the UK the Prime Minister is not directly elected. The Prime Minister is normally the leader of the party that wins the most seats at a general election.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
