Rejected petition All Prime Ministers in Britain must be voted in by the general public

Britain should not have any Prime Minister in power who has not been voted in by the public. Regardless of the circumstance or economic situation of the country, all candidates who aim to be Prime Minister must be voted in by the general public.

More details

As a nation we should not be subjected to someone leading our country whom we did not vote in.
History of countries around the world is evidence enough to show that unelected leaders cause more problems than solve.

Anytime that a change in the Prime Ministers position happens, the date and time of year should be irrelevant, we 'the people' should vote to decide who becomes the next Prime Minister every time
