Rejected petition Hold a general election prior to the UK leaving the EU

As the UK public have decided that they wish to leave the EU, the country needs strong leadership to undertake the process. Each political party should have the chance to present to the public, stating how they would navigate the exit.

More details

As the current government is divided in opinion and lacks a plan for the UK exiting the EU, the public should have the opportunity to vote in a general election. In a time of uncertainty, the public should be able to choose which party they feel they are able to trust to guide the country through the unknown.
