Rejected petition The government should call a general election TODAY in light of the referendum

It is undemocratic to see a new Prime Minister in place after following a party leadership contest. A large proportion voted to remain in the EU and the current representation of MPs in the UK Parliament does not represent this view. A General Election must therefore be called immediately.
