Rejected petition Call general election amid collapse in public confidence in PM & Government

We ask the Government to call an immediate General Election so the public can decide whether the current Prime Minister and Government still have a democratic mandate to govern.

More details

Public confidence in the Prime Minister has significantly declined due to ongoing political instability, internal division, and lack of clear leadership. At a time of major economic and social challenges, the UK needs stable leadership with public consent. A General Election is the appropriate democratic mechanism to restore trust and legitimacy.
