Rejected petition: Hold an immediate General Election following the resignation of PM Kier Starmer
Rejected on
We want the Government to call an immediate General Election following the resignation of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Sir Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as Prime Minister. We believe the British public voted in the 2024 General Election with him as the leader of the Government, and that a change of Prime Minister should be decided by the electorate rather than solely through an internal party leadership process.
We therefore call on the Government to dissolve Parliament and hold an immediate General Election, allowing the public to decide who should lead the country and form the next Government.
