Rejected petition Call a general election before giving an Article 50 notification to the EU

We have decided to leave the EU. The Leave campaign, due to being made up from all parties, couldn't give an explanation of how they saw our relationship with the EU post Brexit. Before activating article 50 or starting negotiations we need a general election to give a mandate to the negotiators.
