- Hansard - - - Excerpts

In the course of campaigning in the Parkhead area of my constituency yesterday, a number of my constituents were asking why the Government have changed Prime Minister twice in seven weeks. They are determined to see a general election to get rid of this rotten Government. The petitioners therefore

“request that the House of Commons urge the Government to call an early General Election.”

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of residents of the constituency of Glasgow East,

Declares that the appointment of two Prime Ministers in just seven weeks and significant departures from policy based on the Conservative Party’s 2019 manifesto is sufficient cause for His Majesty’s Government to seek a new mandate from the electorate.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to call an early General Election.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]
