Rejected petition Call General Election - ensure Lisbon treaty article 50 is invoked by elected PM

Implementing the result of the EU should be undertaken by a Prime Minister that has been directly elected to be Prime Minister by the British Public and not by Party membership.

More details

Implementing the referendum result is a big social change, with the potential to effect generations, the British people should be given the choice of selecting the team they believe can do a good job.

David Cameron was elected but has resigned from the responsibility of navigating through potentially difficult times we therefore do not have an leader with a popular mandate.

Political instability does not vindicate anti democratic practice, there must be a General Election to ensure legitimacy.
