Rejected petition Hold an early General Election following BREXIT & The resignation of Elected PM

Following the result of the U.K's EU referendum and the divisive nature of the result It would seem necessary and democratic to hold an early General Election. This is something increasingly imperative due to the subsequent resignation of the elected PM. The electorate are no longer represented.

More details

Following the divisive EU referendum and subsequent resignation of the PM David Cameron - it is clear that the representation of the electorates views and wishes is hugely diminished. 48.1% of referendum voters are not represented by the decision to leave the EU and now we face a new PM which not a single member of the electorate will have voted for.

The sensible option is for the U.K to have an early General Election and allow the democratic process to represent the views of the electorate.
