Rejected petition Trigger a General Election when a Prime Minister resigns.

David Cameron's Conservatives were voted into Government under the assumption that he would be Prime Minister until the next election. Now he has resigned, an unelected leader will become Prime Minister. Therefore, a Genereal Election should be called so we aren't governed by an unelected leader.
