This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Call a general election before article 50 of the Lisbon treaty is enacted.
Rejected on
Those of us that have been forced into Brexit by the rest of the country have not chosen who we want to represent us during the negotiations with the remaining 27 states of the EU. Therefore a general election should be held beforehand so we can choose.
