Rejected petition Hold a general election once a new conservative leader has been put in place.

Theresa may or Andrea leadsom will become our next prime minister and the public will have no say over this. This is undemocratic. A general election should be held after the new conservative leader is put in place.

More details

This is a turbulent time for Britain and the people should have a say over who leads us through the near unpredictable future. The last time this happened it was Gordon Brown who was put in place. Unelected by the people. The following election he lost by a landslide. Further evidence a general election is needed.
