Rejected petition Call for a general election to allow the British people to choose who is PM.

We the people of the UK wish to invoke article 3 and freely and fairly elect a PM chosen by the people.
We elected David Cameron and not Theresa May.
The conservatives had the right to pick a new leader but not a new PM which is ONLY the right of the nation.

More details

Article 3 the right to hold fair and free elections to select a prime minister.

David Cameron's resignation should have triggered a free and fair election instead of a PM being chosen for us.

With the lack of fair elections and denial of petitions the nations democratic rights have been denied.
