More than 200,000 people sign petition demanding another General Election is called after Labour 'U-turns'....
A petition calling for a general election has exceeded the amount needed for a response from the government and needed to be considered for a debate in in parliament.
The online petition has surpassed 200,000 signatures, at the time of publication, after being widely shared on social media since being created on Wednesday.
It smashed through the 100,000 mark today which is the amount needed for it to be considered for a debate in parliament.
A petition needs 10,000 signatures for a government response.
Set up by Michael Westwood, the petition reads: 'I would like there to be another General Election.
'I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.'
The government website reads: 'Petitions which reach 100,000 signatures are almost always debated.
'But we may decide not to put a petition forward for debate if the issue has already been debated recently or there’s a debate scheduled for the near future. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you how you can find out more about parliamentary debates on the issue raised by your petition.
'MPs might consider your petition for a debate before it reaches 100,000 signatures.'.........
