Rejected petition Forbid Boris Johnson or any unelected leader to become Prime Monister

Since David Cameron is going to resign, it seems reasonable that the next prime minister should be someone who has been elected in the last general election. Boris Johnson, whether people like him or not has not been elected, so he or any unelected person should not have the right to hold office.
