This petition on the UK Gov and Parliament website calling for another election (ridiculous) has just gone over 2 million signatures. Of course, its never gonna come to anything, but parliament will have to consider it for debate as its got over 100,000 sigs. Anyway here it is

Petition: 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.

Yes, they may have gone back on a few promises but doesn't every incoming gov't do the same when faced with certain economic realities. I didn't vote for them but give them some time FFS.

I disagree with this and do not want another general election therefore it is highly unlikely that it’s had 2 million signatures.

It's the same as the 6m people who signed the Brexit petition a few years back, nothing is going to change, politicians lie to get votes, respect the democratic process and move on.

That being said, I'd much rather people sign a meaningless petition than take to the streets.

I don’t think many would have taken to the streets with ol’Bert dumping his load this weekend. :lolol:

Signed.

Just to try it out basically, if there was any sort of verification or anything of me being a UK citizen... or even a real human.

Nothing of that sort though. I could just register 100k random names on 100k random emails and sign them up if I want. Its as practical as it is stupid.

Quite. Whatever happened to “The democratic will of the people”? Or doesn’t it count when they lose?
