Rejected petition No UK General Election during investigations into alleged Tory electoral fraud.
Rejected on
33 criminal investigations are ongoing into alleged fraud by Tory candidates at the last general election in 2015. There should be no general election in 2017 until they are concluded and any resulting criminal proceedings are underway.

Her Majesty the Queen has made a proclamation setting Thursday 8 June as the date of the election. Once a proclamation like this has been made, the date of the election can’t be changed.
