Rejected petition We, the undersigned, demand that the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act be repealed.

A petition was started a while ago asking for a general election when Cameron resigned. The petition, they say, cannot happen unless the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act is repealed.

More details

Not even a failing Prime Minister can trigger a general election, so like it or not we are stuck for 5 years with a government that the majority have no faith in. Just like at present with pm May now saying BREXIT cannot happen until 2019. This, I believe is completely unacceptable to every UK citizen that voted to Leave the EU.
