Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labor Party, became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom with an absolute victory last July. Starmer took over with a promise to rebuild the Conservative Party after the failure of Rishi Sunak.
But before his tenure is over four months, the British people seem to be losing faith in him. 1.7 million people have signed a petition calling for another general election in the UK. The petition is an expression of widespread dissatisfaction with the Labor government's policies and post-election activities.
A petition is a written petition or request to express support or opposition to a matter, where signatures are collected as evidence of the support of the people or a large number of people.
In the UK, if a petition gets 10,000 signatures, the government will respond to that petition. And if it gets 1 lakh signatures, it can be tabled in Parliament for discussion.
The petition for a new election in the UK reads, 'I want another general election. I believe the current Labor government has gone back on their pre-election promises.'
According to the latest update, 1771 thousand 423 people have signed the petition and the number of signatures is increasing. Elon Musk, the CEO of X, expressed his excitement in a post about the support of more than 1.7 million in this petition. Musk writes, 2 lakh signatures in 6 hours on re-election petition in Britain. The British people left the Labor Party defamed!
The petition was started by Michael Westwood, owner of Wagon and Horses, the UK's cheapest pub. Westwood said he never imagined Musk would share his petition.
“The people of Britain are fed up,” Westwood said, complaining that nothing was being done as promised. They saw what happened in America and I think it had an impact. If people come together and vote, we can make a difference.'
The Labor government's fortunes have deteriorated sharply since the general election earlier this year, according to a poll by international market research and opinion polling firm IPSOS. Prime Minister Kier Starmer's popularity has plummeted.
Almost half (49 per cent) of UK residents view the Labor Party as 'evil'. Two in five Britons think they are worse off since a Labor government came to power.
And 56 percent believe Britain is headed in the wrong direction. And 19 percent think the country is moving in the right direction. This picture shows the despair and hopelessness of the people of Britain.
