Rejected petition Hold a General Election in 2016

In light of the vote to leave the EU, the electorate call for a General Election to acquire new leadership. The Conservative government were elected to tackle a very different economic, social and political environment and so it is just for us to respond with a party better equipped to do so.

More details

The Government is in a state of total disarray and are currently electing new leadership, totally unsure of the direction they wish to take in the negotiations with the European Union. This is unacceptable and the electorate deserve strong leadership, so a general election must be held to ascertain it before we enter negotiations with the European Union.
