Rejected petition Petition for an emergency General Election
Rejected on
Upon hearing the news of Teresa May becoming the leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore the Prime Minister of England, there should be a General Election to decide on who the citizens of the United Kingdom would like as the Prime Minister, as it would not be fair to have an unelected PM.
