Note petition "Hold an immediate general election due to authoritarian Coronavirus measures" is awaiting approval so you cannot sign yet. For those who want the content it is as follows.
Hold a general election: there is no opportunity until May 2024 to replace the government. This could mean 3 more years of lockdowns & increasing restrictions on people's human rights.
The election must be held no later than 30th November 2021, this timetable is feasible as proved in 2017.
The government have implemented the draconian Coronavirus Act which restricts our basic human rights. Whilst there is opportunity for MPs to vote against it, there is no ability for constituents to replace these MPs, who were voted in under very different circumstances.
The government can change the legislation whenever they want, with no parliamentary scrutiny. This has allowed them to introduce measures we were previously assured would not happen, such as vaccination of children & passports.
I will let you know when it is live.
