Rejected petition Pressure the government to hold an early General Election in 2016
It would be entirely hypocritical and an insult to the UK population for the Conservation Party to put in post an unelected Prime Minister. For this reason it is surely mandatory for a General Election to take place in order for the nation to elect it's Prime Minister.
More details
Given a great deal of the Brexit campaign was highlighting how wrong it is that leaders of the EU are unelected - how on Earth could we allow our next Prime Minister to be exactly that.
You have good reason to demand this as it is this exact kind of warped democracy that the UK has voted against!
Sign the petition and DEMAND that YOU CHOOSE who takes our nation into the post-Brexit future.
