Petition demanding a General Election

And even when it was proven that the tiny majority on Brexit was won on lies and foreign interference- so much so that, had it had been official, it would have been cancelled by the Electoral Commission. And when we complained, we were told repeatedly that we should respect 'Democracy'!

A tiny minority of over a million, which could easily🤣🤣 have been overturned if only all the people who didn’t want Brexit had bothered.
I hold their lack of action responsible for Brexit as much, if not more than the leave voters.
When I was putting my X in Remain, where were they?
CBB is a national pastime when it comes to voting.

I tend to agree. Other issues aside, at least Brexit voters made the effort to vote.

I believe it was the civic duty of everyone, regardless.

I stand corrected; the EU petition closed with over 6 million signatures. It was the most-signed petition to the UK parliament on record.

Still, anyone listened? NO

“By 24 March 2019, the petition had received 5 million signatures, and is the most-signed petition to the UK parliament on record;[2] it reached 6 million on 31 March, and closed on 20 August with a total of 6,103,056 signatures.”

Hole should of course been whole

I haven’t signed and do not intend to sign the petition.

I see it more as sending a message to the Government that they have reneged on some of their pre-election promises, as well as the hole accepting freebies debacle which they constantly called out the Tories for doing the same.

In fact this Labour Government is just more of the same, just sporting a different colour.

Michael Westwood is the man who started the petition, he is the owner of Britains cheapest pub (pints of beer start at £2.30)

Primrose53 is correct

Oh dear oh dear no one took much notice of our voices when Brexit was forced on us or the dreadful governing of the last government NO ONE listened AT ALL. Not so funny now is it

Agreed Bluebell.

In 2019 a petition calling for the government to ‘Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU’ garnered 5.5 million votes. Did anyone take a blind bit of notice - NO.

Election moaners … welcome to the world many of us have inhabited for the past 14 years!

This petition is fronted by someone who lives in Sweden and a huge number of those who apparently are in favour, don't actually live in Britain.

Rubbish! He keeps a pub called the Wagon and Horses in Oldbury, West Midlands.

Waht ridiculous nonsense- we have had to suffer FOURTEEN years, and Brexit too.

Suck it up snowflakes.

😂😂😂😂😂

Agree!!

Why on earth was that message deleted. This is something I would never say, and only posted because this is what we anti-Brexit people were told, again and again. We are still being told to 'get over it', despite the massive damage it has inflicted on all of us, and farmers even more so.

Whilst this petition will not result in a General Election hopefully it will cause the government to realise just how unpopular some of their actions are and maybe have a rethink

So agree BlueBelle

But it's highly likely that Remain voters are unhappy with this government!

Pointless, they are in for 5 years unfortunately. Its a pity that any party cannot abide by their Election promises. We are a democracy which people do not appreciate so we are stuck with them.. Don't want to get like the Brexit lot who still waffle on about how unfair it was as they did not understand or be bothered. Everyone understood what Labour said but not that they would do the opposite once in. We are stuck with them and they have just started.

If nothing happens Labour would have to be incredibly thick to not understand the anger of millions of people signing the petition.

This must be the only time this has happened so soon after a new parliament has got in. How humiliating! However, they are probably too thick-skinned to be bothered.
Trouble is....the country is still in the same situation....no viable alternative. The Conservatives and Reform need more time to get themselves properly organised.

What we need, is not another elelction. the result would probably be much the same.

We need an effective form of proportional representation that means the votes of the majority of voters are more fairly represented in Parliament.

Yes, indeed.

It’s pointless putting signatures to something like this as it’s a five year term. There won’t be another election unless something really significant happened.

Not over 50% of eligible voters voted for Brexit.
Absolutely true, but a larger % of those who did vote got off their rear ends and voted for it.

Sadly a smaller %of those adamantly anti Brexit bothered to vote at all.
Well done to all who voted remain and shame on those who didn’t bother, but still moan about the result their apathy caused.

Well we all know how much AI-generated "signatures" get into these so-called petitions.

I hope that’s not true with the petitions mentioned on GN today, but I suspect you may be right.

To Cossy and Fleurpepper btw

So you agree that the language and attitude to GN members is ok?
Charming! It’s the sort of thing daft teenagers say.

Won't make any difference.. We are stuck with this lot.
Be careful what you wish for...
