 The claim that there is a petition in the U.K. demanding another general election is true. The only fault I can find is that the way this article uses numbers is slightly misleading. At the time the article was written, it had 1,759,755 signatures. It now has 3,039,966 signatures. This seems like a lot of people, but in reality, 3,039,966 is only 4.38 % of the British population. That said, the current prime minister’s approval ratings are very low. He has gotten into heated arguments with Musk over his record as a public defender.
