Rejected petition General Election in 2016 to let UK voters decide who will negotiate Brexit.

Britain has voted to leave the EU. The leader of the Conservatives has resigned and the party will now choose who will get to be the next Prime Minister.

More details

After such a momentous event, the British public should be given the opportunity to decide who will lead the country through this delicate and difficult negotiation and I'd like to call for an immediate General Election.
