This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Any change of government leadership should trigger an immediate general election
When people voted, they did so for a party headed by a certain leader and cabinet. If the government they voted for has a change in focus and direction, then this new government no longer has a mandate to rule. The only moral position is to let the people decide if they support this new governance.
