Rejected petition Government to call another general election

Theresa May was not democratically elected to the position she is about to assume. She will take the role of PM by default only due to her direct contender stepping out of the Conservative party leader election. Given the aforementioned government should consider calling another general election.

More details

Andrea Leadsom stepped out of the leadership race 11/07/16 which means Theresa May will assume power as PM with no actual election (by default).
