It's almost as ridiculous as asking an elected government to "stand aside" for an unelected one.

who would suggest such a thing

That was stupid as well but saying you'll serve as a minority government isn't the same as having an online petition to call a General Election.

The Tories could make the same offer right now but they would also look ridiculous given the Labour Majority. They could also call a Vote of No Confidence which is how you force an early General Election in this country.

I think it needs to be something Parliament can actually debate, you would debate a Vote of No Confident not an Election, and besides I also believe there is wording that exempts that from being a valid petition.

Starmer says there will be no vote so i would prepare for one as he has never told the truth when answering a question.

I remember just before the pandemic there was a petition to get Brexit reversed which managed 6m signatures and that was laughed aside.

So if this petition fails to get that many then get the Giggle-Gas ready.

Iirc the make meal deals £3 again got 2.5 million signatures so there's a fair way to go before it even reaches that and speaking of brexit sir beer should just tell these anti democracy types to stop trying to thwart the will of the people

Former being the operative word, it was barely this millennium but I have to hold my hands up and say I was immature and selfish back then and looked to blame the Polish for the fact my boss wouldn't give me a payrise, it was only as I grew older that I realised how foolish I'd been to have been taken in by snake oil salesman like Nigel farage, I mean, he wanted a second referendum too and sir beer asking for a confirmation vote on the deal seems eminently sensible considering lord frost has done nothing but moan about it since he finished negotiating it

He can want as much as he likes, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. He’s now in prime position to get it reversed (if we’d be accepted back in) but doesn’t seem interested in following that.

So much for him “trying to thwart the will of the people”.

He's done one of his famous U turns on the EU probably because they've gone far right.
