Rejected petition Have a new general election to set the mandate for the EU exit negotiations.
A majority of less than 2 million people have suggested the UK should leave the EU. But the leadership of all sizable parliamentary parties wanted to remain. Thus an election should be held to set mandates and policies for our negotiation aims on exiting the EU.
