Rejected petition Call for an Immediate General Election upon Theresa May's Arrival as PM
The election of Theresa May was made by default and NOT by the general public; by no more than 150 MP's. This may or may not reflect the general public's opinion, and therefore a general election would clarify the general public's opinion.
More details
Since the brexit vote, little progress has been made, and we the public feel that a Prime Minister (Theresa May) who voted to remain inside the European Union would hinder our progress.
