General Election 2024 Thread

Here are some interesting numbers. If it gets 100,000+ signatures, it will be considered for debate in Parliament.

100K had hit in just a couple of hours. There is a live counter here:

Wishful thinking of course, however one wills it to be true

With a Labour majority, the only debate to be had is whether to fling this proposal in the blue or brown bin

Probably more chance of GoT season 8 being remade than any serious credence being lent to another General Election this soon after the fact, notwithstanding that surely there's a minimum period of time before that could ever even be considered a possibility?....

Barring a miraculous motion of no confidence, I'd say the chances are between slim hope and Bob Hope.....and Bob just left town

Wow. Starmer and Labour must be ultra popular! This is the fastest ever growing petition on the official parliament.uk site.

That figure must be massively underestimated because yesterday I signed the petition and it stated that it needed Email verification before it is regestered and recieving that email can take up to 24 hours to arrive. As of today I have not got that email yet. So imagine how many others are waiting too?

They will most definitely get their wish, but not until 2029. This is the joy of democracy, you get to exercise your vote every 4 - 5 years but a large amount of people chose not to do that earlier this year and sat at home.
That has resulted in a government with a huge majority who will have free reign for the next few years even though they only have the support of a third of the voters... democracy at its finest....

You're signing, with contact details, for the removal of a Bolshevik regime.

It's the most pointless petition to have ever likely existed, and that's in a sea of worthless petitions that mean diddly-squat back in the real world.

There are a million ways in which people's displeasure at this Government's affairs could be highlighted, top of my head, ooh, maybe a protest march of a couple of million, which is more likely to get the point across than pie-in-the-sky smartphone sclacktivism.

It will reach the target needed to be debated in Parliament ten times over, after which a backbencher will mumble through the absurdity before them, before it is roundly mocked by the Labour majority MPs, who to all intents and purposes will have just been asked "Hey guys, do you all fancy getting sacked?"

Only question they'll be posing amongst themselves is "Who'll be first at the bar?"

They can come knocking on my door and I will yell them to feck off and once they have done that they can feck off some more. It will make them cringe every time the opposition mentions it and sends a concrete message to the like of Ed Milliband that his climate bollix is detested and he never ever mentions real climate issues such as plastics,contaminated water, the shit that they are spaying from the sky etc etc.

And Starmer,Cooper,Reed and Lammy can be asked what part they play in the petition.

It is not a protest march but it is a very real start.

Alrighty- the petition's way over a million signatures, and we can definitely say that it's met the criteria needed for debate in Parliament! Huzzah!

That's of course up until the signer swarm come upon the realization that there are no processes in place that would trigger a General Election based off a digital tick, and that Labour MPs aren't likely to discuss their own P45 prospects!

Nor are constituents going to strongarm their Labour MPs into a vote of no confidence, let's be honest!

Labour are more than aware that they're unpopular, as are its MPs, bubble or not.....and frankly my dear, they don't give a damn

Only actual petition of note that could potentially effect change would be to petition ol' big ears himself, Charles, to call an Election based on the revolting mob, under the Bill of Rights 1689. Wouldn't go holding my breath for that one, either

Barely made the threshold

I was going to sign it for you guys but I thought better of it when I had a vision of stinky starmer and his cronies coming through my door at 2am to arrest me

 

[Webzcas]

Nearly 2 million signatories LOL

Not that it has any legal weight to it, it does in itself reaffirm that Labour will very likely never ever get the keys to Number 10 in subsequent General Elections, for at least one if not several generations.

 

[Webzcas]

Now over 2 million. How many do you think it needs before the BBC cover it? 5 million, 10?

But that is only 20% of the total number of people who didn’t vote labour at the GE, so it really isn’t meaningful.
The problem in 5 years will be that parties that are centre right/right will continue to take votes off each other and most likely allow Labour to win again even if they lose 3 or 4% of their vote compared to 2024.
Farage won’t attract moderate voters , the Tories won’t attract Farage voters and the same split in the vote will happen.

 

[Webzcas]

If Starmer and Labour don't do a U-Turn on the inheritance tax for farmers, I can see the farmers bringing the govt down.

As for Reform, a lot of disaffected Tory voters have already moved to them. Same will happen with disaffected Labour voters. Reform lead in Wales according to the latest polls.

4/1 for Reform UK to win the most seats at the next election. I am very very tempted to putting a ton on that.

 

[mack341]

Haha I thought he was the head of the cps in a former life, what with calling sunak the prime minister at pmq's, he's coming across as a bit lacking in the brain power stakes.

Yet that was meant to be his strength!

Edit: my brains can't be too good either I'd forgotten his 'release the sausages' blunder!

 

[goatwack]

How can it be central to his mission if he doesn't even know what they are!

 

[goatwack]

And as expected, on that niche show on that quaint format known as 'Television', Keir Starmer wasted no time in predictably gaslighting the petition on This Morning, citing the Budget as the sole cause of people's fury. Who knew?

 

[TheAddict]

Starmers face reminds me of Timmy, aka MadFruitWorld.
No worries for this useful information.

It is extremely meaningful. That is over 2 million people and counting who are so pissed off they are taking time out of their lives to go and sign a petition. Yes its easy but most people do not sign these things. They find them to be a waste. You have to be pretty pissed off to bother with it.
A lot of people probably dont even know it exists either.

Add that together with his -38 approval ratings.....



Our population is 40 million and we have a retard like yours in charge (not even as bad as yours) and his approval ratings are in the dump. The most people who signed a petition against him is 350k.

This shows extreme disproval for him and that UK wants another change. Not sure what your options are over there but this party is Trudeau +1 and I couldnt imagine any party on earth being worse than trudeau. So congrats on that stinky starmer.

 

[Webzcas]

There are no options, the petition whilst rightly showing the country's displeasure in this awful Labour Government has no legal basis.

Labour's majority is such that Starmer and co have until 2029 at the latest to call an election, at a time in that period of his choosing.

But one thing is for sure, they will get annihilated at the ballot box when a General Election is called. Until such time, unfortunately we will have to suck it up :-(

I guess others making the Trudeau comparisons haha

Listen dear, no point backtracking now and bashing the Trudeau-ster.

Let's be honest, of all the Canadions that voted him in, many were women infatuated with his foppish good looks, making that their sole reason as they swooned to the polling stations. Just admit your part in it already and stop pretending otherwise
