Hold a General Election NOW
The government has lost its majority and its ability to leave the EU “with or without a deal” as mandated by the people in the 2016 EU Referendum.
We demand that in the present circumstances, Parliament holds a General Election without delay in accordance with the Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011.
This Petition is different from previous examples calling for a General Election which were critical of the Government or its Members.
On the 4th September 2019, Parliament passed a bill excluding the possibility of no-deal. The Government’s negotiating position has been significantly weakened.
With no working majority, the Government is rendered impotent by opposition MPs and Tory rebels. A General Election is now the only way that the public can elect a majority Government to deliver Brexit.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
When we consider duplicate petitions, we look at the actions being requested. In this case, we think this petition is similar:
