“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.”
The number of eligible voters in the UK is 48 million.
Of course, this could be a stunt by UK Reform who attracted over 4 million votes and whose supporters are highly motivated! There is no breakdown of the signatories by political persuasion.

It's a moment of solidarity as well as a measure of distress. However, it is unlikely to make a difference. Comment from someone who knows far more than me:
'Now whilst having something to express our frustrations at the Labour government may be nice, ultimately the fact is it will not result in a general election being called.
Firstly Parliament can consider petitions but it is not bound by them and technically does not have to have a formal debate. Most likely the result will be an incredibly snotty response from the government talking down to everyone.
Secondly snap general elections can only be called at the whim of the current Prime Minister. Keir Starmer has absolutely no reason to call a general election outside of the regular five year cycle.
Thirdly current polling does not yet suggest that Labour would lose power. On the contrary they would likely cling on in that hypothetical scenario either as a minority administration or in coalition with the Lib Dems.
Now don't take any of this to invalidate being angry at the government. Indeed I would actually be encouraging anyone and everyone who feels strongly about removing Labour from office to do something productive;
Join a political party.'
