Rejected petition Hold a General Election following David Cameron leaving office.

Following the result of the EU referendum, Prime Minister David Cameron has announced his resignation. We the undersigned believe that given the current volatility of the political landscape in the United Kingdom it is in the public interest to have a leader who has been elected by popular vote.

More details

We believe it would be undemocratic for an unelected leader to control the negotiation for the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union and believe it is our right as citizens as well as being in the best interest of the country for a leader and government of our choice to facilitate our exit.
