Rejected petition Prevent the appointment of a new prime minister without election within six mths

It seems wrong to allow a few thousand party members to make a decision on behalf of the rest of the country regarding something as important as who leads the government. To avoid a national shame the rest of the electorate should have their say within a six month period.
