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

Oh of course.

Starmer said things would get worse so it's not like we weren't warned.

At least Brexit was voted for by a majority, unlike any Government since 1935.

It wasn’t, we don’t have a compulsory voting system, and not over 50% of eligible voters voted for Brexit.

In your dreams
You can sign all the petitions but we now have a system of fixed term parliaments so even a vote of no confidence in the government is not enough.
Dream on.

There's another thread on this. Just suck it up like we all had to do after Brexit.

If only people had 'sucked brexit up'.

I really want whoever is in power to succeed and improve the NHS, state education, keep citizens safe, and make sure the young,sick and elderly are cared for. Both Conservatives and Labour seem incapable of doing these things.

The petition will make no difference but it should make KS and his MPs take a long hard look at themselves. Have they forgotten already how many votes reform got. How many times they came second?

The Tories are a long way off being forgiven for the mess they made. Labour have made an appalling start. I really worry who people will turn to at the next election.

There were some broken 'promises' after the Referendum too - especially the one plastered on that roseate-coloured bus, but anyone calling for another vote would've been shouted down (and were). It was pointed out to them that this was the result of a democratic vote - end of.

Someone - I can't remember who it was - a Tory politicians anyway, explained the the 'promise' plastered on the bus was not actually a promise - more an 'explanation' or floating-idea of what could be done with the money saved each week by leaving the EU.

So I'm not sure how much weight these broken 'promises' will carry.

Sorry, duplicated thread. I did search and nothing came up.
