Some 4,033 residents in the Richmond Park Constituency have signed a petition calling for a General Election.

The petition has garnered over three million signatures nationally, with frustrated voters calling for a repeat of the General Election.

It comes as part of frustrations that Labour "have gone back on" promises set out ahead of 4 July.

A debate on the petition took place in Parliament yesterday, Monday 6 January.

While the petition remains open, no further discussions must be had following the debate and the government's response.

Following the debate, a spokesperson for the Labour Government said: "This Government was elected on a mandate of change at the July 2024 general election. 

"Our full focus is on fixing the foundations, rebuilding Britain, and restoring public confidence in government."

The constituency with the highest number of signatures is Brentwood and Ongar.

The MP for the Richmond Park Constituency is currently Sarah Olney.
