Rejected petition The political elite of the UK needs to stand down as it can no longer protect the masses.

More details

After the scenes of the last few days, it is clear that the political elite of this country can no longer protect us. To prevent the situation decending into total anarchy where people are forced to take the law into their own hands, the government and the opposition must agree to stand down and discussion begin on how to form a new and fairly representative political system.
