Rejected petition Automatically hold a general election if the PM changes whilst in office.

Despite our political system making us vote by constituency, in most general elections lots of people vote for parties, often because of the parties leader. If this party wins and the leader either resigns or is voted out by their party then the people should be given the chance to vote again.
