Tories won’t do that because the Tories and their friends stand to make billions from this cost of living crisis. The lot of them are disaster capitalists.
Inb4 “petitions do nothing”.
They do, occasionally.
So we have two months of inaction while they fuck about campaigning ? Not sure that will help much.

And if Truss as Con leader wins the GE?
As important as GEs are, the UK electorate has been shown to consistently duck things up
People of this country should be taking to the streets from the 6th September and stay there until this government has been removed. Block every refinery every motorway and every railway line. Force these criminals out of office.
I can’t wait to trade one useless, corrupt and non-representative government for another…
Why would the government call a general election they’ll lose?
The more people who sign that petition the less likely they are to do it
I’m not sure i’ve ever seen one of these achieve anything, even if it gets enough signatures to be discussed it is briefly mentioned & dismissed within a few sentences, complete waste of time.
This 100%. Never understood how a party gets to choose who leads again after the last one was thrown out in disgrace.
As a few people are saying, they’re not going to action this. They don’t want a general election and they’re not interested in the will of the public.
I’ve signed it though.
What it will do is provide further evidence for other parties to pressure the government by showing that parliament and the public have no faith in the government. Likely they’ll ignore that too but it then makes it easier to bring action against them because there is no way for them to claim ignorance.
I have tried many petitions. The twats in office just ignore them.
I recall the tories being up in arms over Gordon Brown being PM without a mandate from the people. Why does this not apply now?
Lizz truss is diabolical. If she’s gets into power she’ll grind the country into nothing.
Why on earth would the government call a General Election when they are doing shit in the polls?
They’d almost certainly lose a huge majority.
No petition is going to change that.
Wait until 2024 and you’ll have the chance to elect a new government.
Tory governments always end in riots.
There’s only one possibility here
Where is Lord Buckethead when we need him most?
Come on r/uk, let’s send this one to the opt of reddit!
Anyone going to give me good odds on this being unsuccessful?
This would bail the torries out and they would blame Labour for the doom that is coming.
Asking/petitioning ain’t gonna do shit. They need to be forced into it.
If only these petitions actually did something
But they won’t and they’ll state precedent Major did 1 year, Brown saw the term through, May waited a year and it did her no good.
The issue, they either lose, so they won’t do it, or they win because so many people are apathetic elections if another is called.
Plus regardless, young people can’t be arsed to vote in large numbers, which is why all parties appeal to the elderly.
Yes, this petition will definitely be heard
Sorry gang but this illusion of democracy has to stop and online campaigns simply let those dimless wonks get away with bloody murder just because they and they don’t care about the current format in which we protest.
Violent protests is inevitable at this point
Honestly, with the everything that’s happening at the moment, they’ve deemed it reasonable for the tax payer to pay for Boris to go on holidays while we all sit here and suffer. Fuck the lot of them, it’s not funny anymore, Tories are killing people
Done but you know..
Interaction comment for the Reddit algo.
Genuine question here, would it actually get better under another govt?
Post this on tik Tok that’ll work lol
An immediate election will still result in a Tory victory because the opposition is not viable.
They would likely lose a lot of their red wall ‘get Brexit done’ seats but still have a majority.
Labour are a shambles. The Lib Dems at least stand for something but a split vote still result in a Tory government.
If anything an immediate election is possibly the only shot they have at keeping power.
I doubt results would be any different right now. MaYbe after the Tories have their winter cull, but there again Boris inaction directly killed 50k and his popularity went up. So who knows
Let’s goooo.
What difference would it make? Another round of anti-Labour scare stories in the tabloids and we’ll be back to square one. Waste of time if you ask me. You want real change in this country? Call a nationwide general strike, bring the ruling class to their knees and then tell them how its going to be from now on with a **completely** reformed country.
Seriously what’s stoping us all getting in our cars. Driving to the middle of the manor roads and blocking all ports, motorways, bridges fucking everything
Signed it for all the good it will do. The fascist bloodsucking cunts will rule for 2 more years, guaranteed.
Problem is people have very short term memorys
Petitions do fuck all. The last few petitions I’ve signed have gathered enough signatures to be discussed in parliament. And the answer is always the same… Yeah, but no, we aren’t going to change a thing about how things are run.
The illusion of democracy.
The ruling class needs to be deposed and a new system of actually representative democracy, free of corruption and bribery, needs to be put in place.
As long as the rich control the status quo via their “lobbying and donations” (read legalised bribery), there will never be real democracy. Only the corporatocracy.

Never signed a petition so fast.
It sounds like we need a British version of [ The Sri Lankan protest](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sri-lanka-president-flees-country-1.6518666). Sooner rather than later.
