Abolish the Fixed-Term Parliaments act 2011.

Petition Details

We call on parliament to abolish the fixed-term parliaments act 2011. The Fixed-Term Parliament's Act, which came into force in 2011 under the Coalition Government, removed the power to set the general election date, and therefore to call an early general election.

Additional Information

An early general election can only be called under the Act if either a motion (as worded in section 2(2) of the Act) that there shall be an early parliamentary general election is passed by the House of Commons with at least two thirds in favour of the motion; or if a motion of no confidence (as worded in section 2(4) of the Act) is passed by the House of Commons and the House does not pass a motion of confidence (as worded in section 2(5) of the Act) in the Government or an alternative Government within 14 days. Aside from these triggers there is no way to replace the Government through an early General Election.
We the public did not vote for this and this petition demands that you abolish the act immediately.
