This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Hold a General Election following the result of the EU Referendum.
Following the UK populations decision to leave the EU our government will decide the nature of Brexit. The government that does this should a have a democratic mandate to do so. Those who speak for us must represent the will of the people, not the just those who wished to leave the EU.
More details
The Tory right and UKIP will decide the nature of Brexit. They have no democratic mandate to do so. Therefore a mandate must be sought through a democratic election of representatives, campaigning on how they see the future of the UK and it's relationship with the EU and the World. If those who believe in social and environmental justice are to have a voice we must have a democratic say.
