Rejected petition Hold Another General Election now that Theresa May Has Resigned

Theresa May has resigned her post as Prime Minister. The Conservative political party has announced its intention to hold a contest for leadership in two weeks time. This is a waste of time, and unacceptable. The only way forward is a General Election.

More details

Another leadership contest within the Conservative party, given the extension already provided to the UK by the EU to deliver a workable Brexit plan, is a waste of time that will achieve nothing.

The resignation of Theresa May is as much to do with lack of confidence in the entire Conservative Party as it is with her. That the Conservative Party is unable to agree on a way forward for Brexit further illustrates the party's incompetence.

Give the choice to the people. Hold a General Election.
