Nov 23, 2024, 09:20 PM
An online petition calling for an immediate general election in the United Kingdom has rapidly surpassed 100,000 signatures within just over four hours. Hosted on the Parliament's official website, the petition has become the fastest in history to reach the 100,000-signature threshold required for consideration for debate in Parliament, breaking the previous record held by the 'Justice for George Floyd' petition in 2020. The swift accumulation of signatures reflects significant public interest, with calls to reach one million signatures. The petition's momentum highlights growing demands for a general election to address public dissatisfaction.
