Rejected petition Hold a general election in October when David Cameron steps down as PM.

Over 30 million people had their say on the EU referendum, since the result David Cameron has quit his position as Prime Minister leaving just 150,000 Tory party members to elect the next leader of our country.

More details

We are leaving a massive decision to 150,000 people. 150,000, that's 0.5% of the people who voted on the EU, being left to decide for the rest of us. As a democracy, this is unacceptable. This is us being told who will lead us, somebody that hasn't been fairly elected into power by the people. We want a fair choice, we want a vote on our children's futures...

We the people demand a general election!
