Rejected petition: Call General Election to vote on national security and spending priorities
Rejected on
We call on the UK Government to dissolve Parliament and call an immediate General Election. This will allow the British public to vote on a new mandate regarding the balance between national defense spending, domestic welfare policies, and border security.
Many voters believe the government's policy priorities do not sufficiently protect the primary interests and security of the United Kingdom. We are concerned that funds are being directed towards minority welfare initiatives at the expense of national defense and border protection. Because these major shifts in policy direction impact the core security of the nation, the British electorate should be given the opportunity to vote on a new manifesto and decide the future priorities of the country.
