Rejected petition Hold an early election for the London mayor in 2018.
Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor elected in 2016 and due to be in office until 2020, is calling for Brexit to be disregarded in favour of a second referendum. This disregard for the result of a public vote undermines his office. Those who voted for the Mayor of London should be given a second vote now.

How can someone who has been installed in office by the democratic process use that same office to undermine the democratic process? This behaviour is unconscionable and demonstrates clearly Sadiq Khan's unsuitability for the role. The Mayor of London is not a national role and yet Mr Khan seeks to strut upon the national stage - again proving his unsuitability.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you'd like to change the length of term for the London Mayor or change the law so that the Government can decide the date of the mayoral elections. At the moment, the next London mayoral election will be held in May 2020.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
