A petition calling for an “immediate general election to end the chaos of the current government” is nearing 400,000 signatures.
At the time of writing, the petition has amassed 399,584 signatures.
With the number of signatures surpassing the threshold of 100,000 required for the motion to be considered for a debate in the House of Commons being met, a date of when it will be heard will be announced in the next three days.
The petition reads: “The chaos engulfing the UK government is unprecedented.
“Over 40 ministers resigned leaving departments without leadership during cost of living, energy and climate crises.
“War rages in Ukraine; the Northern Ireland Protocol has further damaged our relationship with Europe; recession looms; the UK itself may cease to exist as Scotland seeks independence.
“This is the greatest set of challenges we have seen in our lifetimes. Let the people decide who leads us through this turmoil.”
According to UK rules, petitions that reach 10,000 signatures get a response from the government, while those with 100,000 signatures are considered for debate in Parliament.
