They will have been “installed” by a Tory membership of a mere 125,000.\r\n\r\nThis is a minuscule percentage of the population deciding upon a leader for the rest of us.\r\n\r\nIt’s an affront to democracy and should be immediately resolved.","additional_details":"The evidence is clear; either Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson are about to be granted leadership of the Conservative party and by default, the premiership of this country.\r\n\r\nThis will be decided ONLY by Tory party members, meaning for the second time in three years we will have had an unelected prime minister forced upon us.\r\n\r\nThis is unacceptable in a parliamentary democracy and must be immediately put to the people in the form of a general election.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":20,"created_at":"2019-07-19T08:42:42.557Z","updated_at":"2020-02-26T22:52:40.808Z","rejected_at":"2019-07-26T14:49:13.029Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2019-07-19T10:15:22.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/264215"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
