This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition a general election should be automatic to change Prime ministers
It is un-democratic and wrong for a small number of voters to be the only ones who get to vote for a new Prime minister an force their choice onto the counntry excluding all other voters like now only 160,000 conservative members
More details
This is wrong and many MPs agree and many have stated this in the national press including Boris Johnson who wrote in a national newspaper that it was un-democratic when Gordon Brown became Prime minister without a general election but now see nothing wrong with the system now it is him.
