    Call a General Election


    I would like there to be another General Election.

    I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.

      Might as well start a petition to give Belgium back to the Belgians.
      Trouble is that in 4 years time 2Tier will have destroyed the UK and its future.

      Anyway there are no Belgians but there are Dutch, French and German bits and now Islamic bits.

              To be fair they didn't have a bus, they put their lies in their CVs and manifesto.

                If the petitioner had asked for another general election within six months that would have made more sense. But he hasn't; he's just asked for another general election, which he'll get in 4/5 years. So petition granted! Nothing to see, move along...


                It doesn't matter if the petition fails to trigger a General Election, it will be a record of puplic opinion that may be referred to in future "Bash the Commies" sessions at PMQs

                  OTOH, it's been signed by 1.6m people, which is roughly 30% of the number that voted for Labour...

                  It's bugger all use as a way to get a general election of course, but it is a very good indicator of just how pissed off the whole UK is with Labour after just four months. And Reeves coming up with lines like "move to being the fastest growing economy in the G7" when she started with one and promptly dropped it to near zero growth doesn't really help either.

                  I've lived through some truly awful governments from both of the main parties - Wilson, Heath, Callaghan, Brown, May and Truss for example. This one is in another league.
