Let know Sunak know there really is people who want an election.
He knows. They all know. None of them care.
Pointless.
There’s going to be an election next year anyway and it’s not going to be earlier.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted - Sunak and the Conservatives will not concede until they have to. As much as I’m desperate for change as soon as possible, a petition will do nothing to bring that about sooner than expected.
Pfft no, there’s a lot more wrecking to do, to make it all the harder for Labour to fix.
Has there ever been a petion on that site that didn’t just get a boiler plate “We discussed it and No” equivalent response?
No one expects a result from this. What is all about is, stopping the BS that Sunak spouts, when he states that no one wants an election. Get a million signatures on that petition, and he becomes a fish in a barrel.
Do you really think the damage these scumbags have done to this country is something to be light hearted about? Go to your local foodbank (yes, everyone has one now), see how your jokes go down there.
Personally, it’s less about actually expecting an election to be called as a result of the petition and more about publicly announcing our discontent at the current government. The media must address it eventually, and the opposition will use it against them.
Have you not seen the opinion polls lately? The government are around 20 points behind and have been for some time.
It’s already fairly obvious that people are unhappy with the government.
Opinion polls can be handwaved a lot easier than the government needing to discuss it in Parliament.
But wait a moment - Are you worried about the opposition having another stick to hit the government with? If you don’t support having another general election then don’t sign the petition.
There are independent candidates who are getting more votes for them in local elections than the Tory candidate. They knew people don’t like them, they don’t care.
