Rejected petition Call a general election to decide who leads the UK's negotiation of EU exit

The country has voted to leave the EU but has not voted on what is up for negotiation. There is a huge divide between having less control from Brussels through to controlling borders. We need to decide as a county what we are negotiating and who does it on our behalf.

More details

People have voted to leave for a variety of reasons. The reasons need to be layed out and people need to stand behind what they want. Only then should we be negotiating on these terms. Having a non elected PM choose what they think people want is not a mandate from the people on what they want. A general election gives all parties a chance to make their case and allow the people to stand behind what they voted out for.
