The viral petition has seen over 2.5 million signatures across the UK.
The petition, set up by Michael Westwood, says: "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."
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said to ITV's This Morning: "I remind myself that very many people didn’t vote Labour at the last election. I’m not surprised that many of them want a rerun. That isn’t how our system works."
