Petition · past parliament

We demand a general election now to elect leaders we trust for post-Brexit age.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Britain has voted to leave EU, however the campaign approach from our politicians has been decisive and significantly weakened our trust in these people to lead us into an uncertain future. Under the new Brexit scenario we deserve the right to choose a new breed of politician to lead us.
