Rejected petition Call for General Election in the absence of a leader of party elected to govern

Due to the current state of flux and turmoil in the political landscape of the UK it would seem only proper and correct to provide the opportunity to the electorate of the UK to elect a new government rather than depend on the outcome of the leadership election of a specific political party.
