Rejected petition A change of prime minister must automatically trigger a general election.

When a political party is elected to govern in a general election, the public vote for the party and the leader as one. It is wrong and cheating the public to allow replacement leaders to automatically become prime minister - a new general election must be triggered.

More details

Clearly it is wrong to be able to govern in this way.
