Rejected petition Prevent the postponing of the local elections currently planned for May 2025.

Proposals to cancel local elections for the first time since World War II are anti-democratic and should be prevented. Proposals to review local democracy can still go ahead alongside these elections so they should not be cancelled. It would be a very dangerous precedent.

More details

Parliament must deny current Labour proposals to cancel elections because that would be undemocratic and a sinister precedent.
