Workers call for general election saying public ‘need a voice’

The UK needs a general election to “give the public a voice” in how the country is run, workers have said.

NHS staff, teachers and shop assistants told The Independent they wanted a chance to choose a government they believe represents them to steer the country through the economic crisis.

“The government at the moment doesn’t know what the hell is going on outside,” Angie Wilson, an NHS catering assistant in the North West, said.
