In light of recent issues with the General Election which took place on 6th May we the undersigned demand the right to cast our votes again. We did not vote in order for the minority party (Liberal Democrats) to decide who was best to run our country. No one party had a majority and in this event we feel another election is in order.
In many areas members of the general public were turned away from polling stations due to lack of staff and resources, wrong papers were issued and vote counts were late and in breech of the Electoral Renewel and Governance Act. Postal Votes were sent to the wrong locations causing delays and some members of the public were even given Ballot papers for the wrong area, but on being notified only 50% decided to cast their votes again. The country has become complacent on what is our constitutional rights. You you feel that you deserve a second chance to vote please sign this petition.
I have been reading every single story about the people turned away at polling stations and it is clear that our basic rights were ignored. I am currently compiling a report of these failures to send directly to the electoral commission because their silence on this broken process is unacceptable.

The momentum building behind this effort shows that people are finally waking up to the chaos we saw at the polls. It feels like the tide is turning and more of us are tired of being silenced by a broken process.

how can they just decide things behind closed doors when the numbers didnt add up. just do it again and let the people decide who runs the show.
