Rejected petition I Want To Be Given My Semocratic Vote on Thursday 7th May 2026.

When I last voted in the County elections in May 2021 we were informed that the next elections would take place in May 2025. Then we were informed that these elections were postponed and are scheduled to be held on Thursday 7 May 2026. Only for these now to be postponed. We never voted for this.

More details

Just when will we be given our democratic vote next?
This is not a democracy we are living through but a dictatorship.
I didn't vote to give my County Councilors to represent me beyond 4 years.
I don't want a dictatorship telling me I cannot vote on a pre-set date, do you? I want my democratic voice to be heard again and if you agree with me please sign this petition and tell the Government that we want our voice to be heard and acted upon by giving the people of Britain their vote in 2026!
