Rejected petition Hold a UK-wide vote on whether we should have a general election

I would like the government to host a UK-wide vote which will allow the public to vote on if we should host a general election or not.

More details

Given the sheer amount of traction that the ‘Call for a General Election’ petitions are gaining, I believe that, as a democratic nation, we should allow the public the right to vote once and for all on whether we should hold a general election.
