Doesn't matter who you vote for, the government gets elected: given 3 months one hates the new lot as much as one hated the previous lot.

"Sick of politicians, harassment and laws".

The "Disappear in smoke" bit appears to be getting closer by the day.

Oh they don't know what they are voting for!!! oops that is the other lot!

They know what they're voting against, and that's what matters.

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

Can't the public sack MPs in constituencies? There are a few shaky ones.

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.

Err... what news? News that some idiot has put a petition asking for another general election.


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...

Trouble is that in 4 years time 2Tier will have destroyed the UK and its future.

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

What's the point of the petition? There will be another General Election in 4-5 years.

Might as well start a petition to give Belgium back to the Belgians.

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