UK Petition for General Election Reaches 275,000 Signatures, Surpasses Labour Government
Nov 23, 2024, 10:00 PM
A petition calling for a General Election in the UK has rapidly gained traction, surpassing 275,000 signatures in less than a day. This petition, which seeks to force a debate in Parliament, has become the fastest in history to reach 100,000 signatures, eclipsing the previous record set by the 'Justice for George Floyd' campaign. The petition's swift rise to prominence underscores widespread dissatisfaction with the current Labour government led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with signatories from across the UK, including rural and high migrant constituencies. Notable figures like Elon Musk have reacted to the petition's success, highlighting its significance. The petition's momentum suggests a potential for it to become the most signed in UK history, with calls to reach one million signatures. Starmer's favorability rating stands at just 23%, five points lower than Nigel Farage.
