Rejected petition Hold a General Election to decide the next PM.

The British people must have a say in who becomes the next Prime Minister. To do otherwise would be to deny us the chance to determine our future and would be undemocratic.

More details

Following the resignation of David Cameron and the unexpected decision to leave Europe, Britain is at a crossroads. We must have a say in determining our future and that means allowing the British people to elect a new PM in 2016. We cannot assume that the nation would naturally support Michael Gove or Theresea May or even a Conservative goverment. So let's decide in the fairest most democratic way possible.
