What the petition asks
The narrow margin for the leave vote means the serving prime minister has the power to renegotiate our terms of trade with the e.u. Before this starts the people need to have there say in a general election, and decide who they want to lead them.
I'm not doing this for political bias my own views are not relevant, what is relevant is the power a serving government now has. And our right to choose who that is.
