Rejected petition Hold a General Election 2019 in accordance with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act

Boris Johnson has not been democratically elected as Prime Minister.

Whether or not you think Boris Johnson is capable of leading the country, he is a contentious and divisive character, which has been evidenced in the House of Commons during recent months. He should not be made PM without a GE.

More details

In 2007, Boris made the following claim: "No one elected Gordon Brown as Prime Minister"…”It’s at moments like this that I think the political world has gone mad, and I am alone in detecting the gigantic fraud.”

We call on Boris Johnson to avoid any accusations of hypocrisy and call an immediate early General Election in accordance with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.
