Open Hold a referendum on whether to mandate a general election when the PM changes

Created by Jeff Buckle
Closes on

Give the British people the vote in a referendum to decide if a general election should be mandated when the Prime Minister changes between general elections.

We believe that a politician who did not lead a party at general election time should not be able to make decisions for the people.
