This petition has hit a million so far.
people power can work, we may not be able to change the government but at least we can sign this petition and forward it on to others. One way of letting them know how unhappy we are with them. Hopefully they may start to listen as they are vastly becoming the most unpopular government this century beating Margret Thatcher with the the poll tax.

It's been 4 months..there is an act of parliament called the fixed term parliament act, it can't and won't happen. Do you think the Conservatives or god forbid Reform would be any better for you, really?

I don’t think anybody thinks it will happen, it’s about Labour realising the country is unhappy about the diabolical decisions being made. They are on a crusade to tackle the benefit system next. I just thought some of you may want to sign as some of their future decisions and ones already made will have an impact on us. I certainly don’t think another party will be any better but this government has a majority thus there is no mandate (as the other parties in parliament have a small minority, Labour can pass anything through, as we have seen with the winter fuel payments)except for the people to challenge and make their voices heard.
This government is so unpopular and it has shown that it no longer has socialist values, to protect the most vulnerable in society. They are a party not for the people but for themselves, career politicians.

We won't get a general election. Only Starmer has the power to call an election. I don't want the Tories back in,as that would mean we get someone like Mel Stride in charge of the DWP.
it won't trigger an election, but i think it'll send a message that people aren't happy with Labour and it'll make them buck up thier ideas.

The petition for a 2nd eu referendum had 2.5 million signatures. Nothing happened. It's a waste of time.

StandingStanding up for something you believe in, feel strongly about is never a waste of time.
I could say getting out of bed is a waste of time since I only get back into it later.

It won’t result in a general election because the Liebour party do not care. What it will do however, is cause a national embarrassment for the party which will in turn make a huge difference to any manifesto bought in going forward. That said , it really needs atleast another 9 million on top of the 1.5m to make a real difference. It’s still gaining momentum so hopefully it will continue to grow.

It won't result in a general election because the last government passed a law making it so every parliament lasted 5 years

Tens of thousands of disabled people died due to austerity under the last government. I don't remember all of this fuss then. It's been 4 months.

Bring back Cameron! No bring back Bojo! No bring back May! No bring back Sunak! Did I miss anyone?

you can go back as far as you like even Churchill buried his head in the sand about the great smog of london that cost thousands of lives through his ignorance

You cannot put right 14 years of wrong in 4 months.

Lets just give them a chance, 4 months isn't long enough to pass judgement. There wasn't this much concern when the Tories had been in after the same length of time, from what I can remember.

I think the tories went through the same thing under Boris

Truss, that did more damage in not many days that it was incredible!
It is quite astounding, a government that has not been in long & there is a petition to get them out. We had 14 years of very bad treatment by the last government, unless you were rich or one of their family or friends. It beggar's belief! Can't see the Lib Dems or Greens being up to much, so that would leave Reform & if anybody thinks they would give a toss about disabled or anyone else come to that, apart from one thing, then some of the population is disillusioned. In fact, it is those that voted Reform that gave Labour the win. 🤯

well the overhaul of the benefits system is next, and we can blame that on the tories too. 😉

thank you all it’s interesting to see all the different perspectives on this and people’s stances on the government’s of past and present. Let’s hope though that the petition does get the government to reflect on some of these unfavourable decisions and maybe even change one or two. (We are still able to dream).
