This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition When a Prime minister resigns a General election must be held.

The current situation in the UK is that we are going to end up with new prime minister that the public have not voted in.
I believe any party leader who has been elected to prime minister should serve at least 50% of there term or a general election must be held
