A Successful Petition to Trigger a Binding Referendum on a General Election
Considering it is very difficult to design a different kind of electoral system that pleases the majority of voters, we demand a law that uses a government petition (I suggest a million signatories) to precipitate a binding referendum on whether to have a fresh General Election.
Too many people are feeling that their British way of life is badly threatened, in ways that were not declared during the General Election.
It is hard to understand, in what is intended to be a democracy, that just a few people, elected on a third of the vote, can have such an inviolable hold on power.
A referendum is the most honest expression of democracy.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
You may wish to sign the following petitions, which call for similar action:
Hold referendum if a petition reaches over 650,000 signatures
