This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition That the Government calls an election in 2013
More details
We call on the Government to call an election before the 1st January 2014.
The reason is simple. The UK is a democracy.
In 2010, people voted for political parties. There was never an opportunity for the people of the UK to vote for(or against) the coalition agreement. The people of the UK did not vote for the present Governments policies and that must question the mandate that this coalition government has.
An example of this is Fixed Terms Parliaments:
The LibDems had it in there manifesto but not enough people voted for them.
Labour had it in there manifesto but not enough people voted for them.
Thus, there is no mandate for fixed term parliament.
Yet it was included in the coalition agreement.
It should be the voters who decide how we are governed, not political parties.
I call on all political parties and movements to support this campaign and let the people of the UK decide how we are governed.
