Rejected petition Hold a general election this year following the 'Leave' referendum result.
Following the vote for Brexit there will need to be substantial negotiations for the UKs withdrawal from the European Union. No party holds a mandate from the British people to conduct this process, and as a democracy it is essential that a full general election is held as soon as possible.
