Background
The current Government has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to govern:
It has:
• Failed to deliver on key promises made during the Brexit referendum.
• Misled the public on multiple occasions in its manifesto.eroding trust.
• Consistently made decisions contrary to the democratic will of the people.
This Government no longer holds a legitimate mandate. A general election is essential to restore democratic accountability and allow the public to decide who is fit to lead the country.
