Petition for a new General Elections

[Bitter_Dave]

The hypocrisy of Nigel Farage promoting this petition is just staggering. You would think he would keep his mouth shut on this one (then again....)

It is a mighty old gob. Very difficult to keep shut, I should imagine.
More laughable is Elon Mouse chucking in his grain of salt. I love it when narcissists think their time has come. Especially when they're camp.
Pass the popcorn. I'm loving this.

What I want is the NHS fixed, a grown up discussion on immigration and public services sorted.

YES.

I'm a floater (!) but if that's all they fix they'll have my vote next time and if they can maintain it they'll get my vote the time after that too.

We are experiencing first hand today the absolute shambles of the NHS (with Sarah's dad)
You don't appreciate just how appalling it all is until you witness it first hand.
This won't be solved quickly, you can re-run elections as many times as you like.

At least the waiting list for A&E Majors in Crewe today is only 2 hours 36 mins to be seen
But unfortunately if you need to be admitted you're in trouble.
30 hours in an A&E cubicle, and counting.....

Over the last 6 years the NHS has saved my life twice and i mean saved, This is the third time in my life the torys have tried to kill it, what i don't get is why are the people of this Country just standing by while it happens' the only reason i can come to is what Chops said above most people don't know until they really need it, apart from ni contributions it's free. do you want a private system like in the USA i certainly don't and if i had to i would pay ni out of my pension after all i am still going to use it at some point

We are very lucky to have such a system, and it's been failed for years. NI is no longer a hypothecated tax, but I think there is an argument for the likes of sugar taxes and other lifestyle taxes to be.

Wes Streeting has made some good noises about the NHS (along with some not so good noises), but I'll start believing when that talk is turned in to action. I feel quite lucky that Health is a devolved matter, because a lot the deterioration in the quality of healthcare provision has been staved off and delayed up here. Albeit looking at what's happening in England is like getting a horrible view into the future.

We all know the state the NHS is in its in the news often enough ambulances queuing up outside, patients in corridors etc, i find it a strange question coming from someone who openly admitted he didn't vote as all we can do to change it is vote for the party we think will.

Just because i don't vote doesn't mean i don't care i do, i just don't believe our political system works

Sign the petition - it will get to nowhere this time, but we must put pressure on the politicians who keep lying. The system is a demagoguery and piers should start paying for the lies
I think it won’t happen, it is a realist world

I get that but you said "why are the people of this Country just standing by while it happens" how do "the people" change the state the NHS is in?

By protesting on the streets like the farmers did, no violence just peaceful protest day after day

I didn't agree with the stop oil lots methods but they were all over the news for a long time bit it change anything no, I cannot see them backing down to the farmers and if they do make changes it'll be because the money involved is a drop in the ocean compared to how much it would cost to fix the NHS protest will never change that problem.

Rather than petitions wait for the local council elections next May that will be a truer barometer of people in the regions thoughts

True, but it is not unusual for incumbent governments to not do that well mid-term in council elections. What matters is who the public choose on five years time.
