Rejected petition Call for a UK General Election to be held ahead of triggering Article 50.

The current government was not elected with the mandate to leave the EU. The UK people should have the right to choose the MPs that represent them in the Houses of Parliament during the Article 50 process. It is not right that a PM that has not won an General Election should be given this power.
