Rejected petition Hold a General Election before the start of post EU referendum negotiations.

It is essential that a General Election is held before leaving the EU given the disparity of plans presented. The UK government must have a mandate from the electorate for its position in negotiations, and article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty should not be triggered by an unelected Prime Minister.
