Rejected petition Hold a general election when David Cameron resigns.

David Cameron has announced his resignation following the results of the Brexit referendum. Brexit's campaign rested on the EU being run by unelected leaders, but we are now going to be governed by an unelected leader until the general election in 2020.

More details

A general election should be held to replace David Cameron as prime minister so the people can decide who they want in power to carry out the results of the referendum.
