Debating 'call an immediate general election' is a waste of parliamentary time IMO as there has to be one this year any way.

Anything the rich Vorderman suggests, who is she anyway, I decline to support.

I should have put E & OE at the end of that post smile

That's okay Bodach. Even if it's only of interest to a few it's worth making it available.

Just for general information, other names supporters also include:

Marina Purkiss
Danny Price
Abbey Heffer
Asif Kapadia
Supertanskii
Dominic Mingella
Josh Russell

My immediate reaction to learning that Carol 'Vordman' (sic) supports something is generally to oppose it...
So no thanks.

Because of the strength of votes on the "Call an immediate general election" petition there will be a debate in Parliament on 29 January 2024.

So why sign another petition? Because it is our only method letting the government know the strength of feeling in the country.

The new petition is here: themovementforward.com/letter/

The Movement Forward are not a pro Labour group. They are anti this Tory government, pro Proportional Representation, and pro politics that support our communities.

Carol Vordman is supporting this. When you sign the petition there is an opportunity to go on their email list. If you are thinking if voting tactically in the GE this will be a safe site to check for your area (I will put others on as I come across them)

Don't forget, judging by their behaviour in the last election, the Tories are likely to setup rogue tactical voting sites. Googling "tactical voting" is likely to lead to one of these. It will be safer to check on a known safe site.
