Rejected petition Boris Johnson to Resign as PM and call a General Election before 31st October.

We, the undersigned, demand that Boris Johnson resigns as Prime Minister, and calls a General Election before 31st October 2019. His current mandate has been only been approved by members of the Conservative and Unionist Party - no-one else!

More details

In 2007, Boris Johnson expressed disgust at the then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown for not obtaining a mandate from the British electorate when he took over from Tony Blair.

12 years later, and Mr Johnson appears to be about to do the exact thing that he accused Gordon Brown of!
