Petition Early general election

Responsible department: Cabinet Office

We call upon the Government to undertake the following:

That upon receipt of an epetition with more than 500,000 signatures requesting a General Election; they should:

a) Dissolve Parliament within 30 days of receipt of the petition
b) Hold a General Election within 2 months of the dissolution of Parliament

We believe that this measure will ensure that democracy and accountability are exercised by the people rather than by the political elite.

It will ensure that politicians are more likely to keep to their promises, and govern in the interests of the many, rather than the few.
